MessageSet Tcl Reference Documentation

MessageSet

Current Version: 11.0.0

Represents a collection of email message sequence numbers or UIDs on an IMAP server.

Object Creation

set myMessageSet [new CkMessageSet]

Properties

Count
integer
set intVal [CkMessageSet_get_Count $myMessageSet]

The number of message UIDs (or sequence numbers) in this message set.

top
DebugLogFilePath
string
# ckStr is a CkString
CkMessageSet_get_DebugLogFilePath $myMessageSet $ckStr
set strVal [CkMessageSet_get_debugLogFilePath $myMessageSet]
CkMessageSet_put_DebugLogFilePath $myMessageSet $strVal

If set to a file path, this property logs the LastErrorText of each Chilkat method or property call to the specified file. This logging helps identify the context and history of Chilkat calls leading up to any crash or hang, aiding in debugging.

Enabling the VerboseLogging property provides more detailed information. This property is mainly used for debugging rare instances where a Chilkat method call causes a hang or crash, which should generally not happen.

Possible causes of hangs include:

  • A timeout property set to 0, indicating an infinite timeout.
  • A hang occurring within an event callback in the application code.
  • An internal bug in the Chilkat code causing the hang.

More Information and Examples
top
HasUids
boolean 1/0
set boolVal [CkMessageSet_get_HasUids $myMessageSet]
CkMessageSet_put_HasUids $myMessageSet $boolVal

If 1 then the message set contains UIDs, otherwise it contains sequence numbers.

top
LastErrorHtml
string
# ckStr is a CkString
CkMessageSet_get_LastErrorHtml $myMessageSet $ckStr
set strVal [CkMessageSet_get_lastErrorHtml $myMessageSet]

Provides HTML-formatted information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

top
LastErrorText
string
# ckStr is a CkString
CkMessageSet_get_LastErrorText $myMessageSet $ckStr
set strVal [CkMessageSet_get_lastErrorText $myMessageSet]

Provides plain text information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

top
LastErrorXml
string
# ckStr is a CkString
CkMessageSet_get_LastErrorXml $myMessageSet $ckStr
set strVal [CkMessageSet_get_lastErrorXml $myMessageSet]

Provides XML-formatted information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

top
LastMethodSuccess
boolean 1/0
set boolVal [CkMessageSet_get_LastMethodSuccess $myMessageSet]
CkMessageSet_put_LastMethodSuccess $myMessageSet $boolVal

Indicates the success or failure of the most recent method call: 1 means success, 0 means failure. This property remains unchanged by property setters or getters. This method is present to address challenges in checking for null or Nothing returns in certain programming languages.

top
VerboseLogging
boolean 1/0
set boolVal [CkMessageSet_get_VerboseLogging $myMessageSet]
CkMessageSet_put_VerboseLogging $myMessageSet $boolVal

If set to 1, then the contents of LastErrorText (or LastErrorXml, or LastErrorHtml) may contain more verbose information. The default value is 0. Verbose logging should only be used for debugging. The potentially large quantity of logged information may adversely affect peformance.

top
Version
string
# ckStr is a CkString
CkMessageSet_get_Version $myMessageSet $ckStr
set strVal [CkMessageSet_get_version $myMessageSet]

Version of the component/library, such as "10.1.0"

Methods

ContainsId
# msgId is an integer
set retBool [CkMessageSet_ContainsId $msgId]

Returns 1 if the msgId is contained in the message set.

top
FromCompactString
# str is a string
set retBool [CkMessageSet_FromCompactString $str]

Loads the message set from a compact-string representation. Here are some examples:

Non-Compact String

Compact String

1,2,3,4,5

1:5

1,2,3,4,5,8,9,10

1:5,8:10

1,3,4,5,8,9,10

1,3:5,8:10

top
GetId
# index is an integer
set retInt [CkMessageSet_GetId $index]

Returns the message ID of the Nth message in the set. (indexing begins at 0). Returns 0xFFFFFFFF if the index is out of range.

top
InsertId
# id is an integer
CkMessageSet_InsertId $id

Inserts a message ID into the set. If the ID already exists, a duplicate is not inserted.

top
LoadTaskResult
# task is a CkTask
set status [CkMessageSet_LoadTaskResult $task]
Introduced in version 9.5.0.52

Loads the message set from a completed asynchronous task.

Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.

top
RemoveId
# id is an integer
CkMessageSet_RemoveId $id

Removes a message ID from the set.

top
ToCommaSeparatedStr
# outStr is a CkString (output)
set status [CkMessageSet_ToCommaSeparatedStr $outStr]
set retStr [CkMessageSet_toCommaSeparatedStr $myMessageSet]

Returns a string of comma-separated message IDs. (This is the non-compact string format.)

Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.

top
ToCompactString
# outStr is a CkString (output)
set status [CkMessageSet_ToCompactString $outStr]
set retStr [CkMessageSet_toCompactString $myMessageSet]

Returns the set of message IDs represented as a compact string. Here are some examples:

Non-Compact String

Compact String

1,2,3,4,5
