Summary

Obtain message body or attachment file contents as binary.

Description

The OnDataB event occurs in response to calling the CreateMessage. During the create message process, the OnDataB event will be fired one or more times to deliver the created message to the application if no destination filename was given in the call to CreateMessage.

This event will also occur if the ExtractX or CreateX methods are called. However these methods have been deprecated and the ExtractMessageStart, ExtractMessageData, ExtractMessageEnd and CreateMessage methods should be used instead. In case of the ExtractX message extraction process the OnDataB event will be fired to deliver the body of the message as well as the attachments, it will be fired after each OnExtract event. The UseVariant property must be set to True. If the UseVariant property is False, then the OnData event will be received instead. The Byte argument passed to this event indicates the maximum number of bytes of data can be obtained at this moment.

The MIME ActiveX control will first fire the OnDataB event to send the body of the message. During the OnDataB event, call the DataB method to obtain the data.

To abort the current process, set the Action property to ACTION_ABORT (or call the Abort method) during this event. The action in progress will be canceled and no further such events will occur.

Example

Sub Mime_OnDataB (Bytes As Long)
Dim Buffer(1 to 1000) As Byte
Dim Siz As Long
Dim i As Integer

Siz = Mime.DataB (Buffer, Bytes)
If Siz > 0 Then
Open "c:\abc.exe" For Binary Access Write As #1
For i = 1 To Siz
Put #1, i, Buffer (i)
Next i
Close #1
Else
MsgBox "Cannot retrieve binary data", 64, "Sample Program"
End If
End Sub

"The night before I went on summer holiday we had to make some 'last minute' configuration changes to approx. 300 routers, a tedious job to do manually with telnet. We went along with MS Excel containing a list of IP-adresses to the routers, and the VIT telnet-component. One hour later the VBA-application (small is beautiful) was working, and after another hour all of our routers were updated with the new configuration. I just say a big "Thanks" to you all for a good sleep that night."
