Summary

Set message body or attachment file name as binary.

Description

The OnSetBodyB event occurs in response to calling the CreateMessage method. If the UseVariant property is set to True the OnSetBodyB event will be fired to obtain the body of the message and any attachments. If the UseVariant property is False, then the OnSetBody event will be fired instead. The Byte argument passed to this event indicates the maximum number of bytes of data can be sent at this moment.

The MIME ActiveX control will fire the OnSetBodyB event first to obtain the body of the message. During the OnSetBodyB event call the SetBodyB method. Pass the message body as the Buffer parameter and the IsFile parameter as 0, or if the body is in a file you should pass the filename to as Buffer and pass IsFile as 1. The Bytes parameter should be the length of Buffer. Once the MIME control builds the main header and body of the message, it will fire the OnSetHeader and OnSetBodyB events to obtain information for the attachments.

Attachments can be sent by setting passing complete path and name of the file as the Buffer parameter and 1 as the IsFile parameter, or by passing the contents of the attachment as the Buffer parameter and passing 0 as the IsFile parameter. In both cases the length of the buffer should be passed as the Bytes parameter.

To indicate the end of the message body or attachment pass 0 as the Bytes parameter of the SetBodyB method.

To abort the create message, 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.

Note for BinHex encoded files: A file that has to be encoded in binhex40 generally has two parts, a data fork and a resource fork, the MIME ActiveX will fire the OnSetBodyB event to get the data fork first and then it will fire the OnSetBodyB event again to get for the resource fork. If there is no resource fork then the application must call the SetBodyB method with the Bytes parameter set to 0.

Example

' HeaderInfo is a structure for the attachment name, encoding used and the content type
' see the MIME sample for the definition
Sub Mime_OnSetBodyB (Bytes As Long)
' send message body
If MsgBodyDone = False Then
Result = SetBodyB (Buffer, BufferLength, 0) ' message body
MsgBodyDone = True
Exit Sub
End If

' send attachment filename
If AttachDone = False And HeaderIndex <> 0 Then
Result = SetBodyB (HeaderInfo(Indx).Buffer, BufferLength, 1) ' attachment
AttachDone = True
Else
Result = SetBodyB (Buffer, 0, 0) ' end of body or attachment
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."
