Get or set the subject when composing an appointment or message in Outlook

  • 發行項

The Office JavaScript API provides asynchronous methods (subject.getAsync and subject.setAsync) to get and set the subject of an appointment or message that the user is composing. These asynchronous methods are available only to compose add-ins. To use these methods, make sure you have set up the add-in only manifest appropriately for Outlook to activate the add-in in compose forms.

The subject property is available for read access in both compose and read forms of appointments and messages. In a read form, access the property directly from the parent object, as in:

Office.context.mailbox.item.subject;

But in a compose form, because both the user and your add-in can be inserting or changing the subject at the same time, you must use the getAsync method to get the subject asynchronously.

Office.context.mailbox.item.subject.getAsync(callback);

The subject property is available for write access in only compose forms and not in read forms.

Tip

To temporarily set the content displayed in the subject of a message in read mode, use Office.context.mailbox.item.display.subject (preview).

As with most asynchronous methods in the Office JavaScript API, getAsync and setAsync take optional input parameters. For more information on how to specify these optional input parameters, see "Passing optional parameters to asynchronous methods" in Asynchronous programming in Office Add-ins.

Get the subject

This section shows a code sample that gets the subject of the appointment or message that the user is composing, and displays the subject.

To use item.subject.getAsync, provide a callback function that checks for the status and result of the asynchronous call. You can provide any necessary arguments to the callback function through the optional asyncContext parameter. To obtain the status, results, and any error from the callback function, use the asyncResult output parameter of the callback. If the asynchronous call is successful, use the AsyncResult.value property to get the subject as a plain text string.

let item;

// Confirms that the Office.js library is loaded.
Office.onReady((info) => {
    if (info.host === Office.HostType.Outlook) {
        item = Office.context.mailbox.item;
        getSubject();
    }
});

// Gets the subject of the item that the user is composing.
function getSubject() {
    item.subject.getAsync((asyncResult) => {
        if (asyncResult.status === Office.AsyncResultStatus.Failed) {
            write(asyncResult.error.message);
            return;
        }

        // Display the subject on the page.
        write(`The subject is: ${asyncResult.value}`);
    });
}


// Writes to a div with id="message" on the page.
function write(message) {
    document.getElementById("message").innerText += message; 
}

Set the subject

This section shows a code sample that sets the subject of the appointment or message that the user is composing.

To use item.subject.setAsync, specify a string of up to 255 characters in the data parameter. Optionally, you can provide a callback function and any arguments for the callback function in the asyncContext parameter. Check the callback status, result, and any error message in the asyncResult output parameter of the callback. If the asynchronous call is successful, setAsync inserts the specified subject string as plain text, overwriting any existing subject for that item.

let item;

// Confirms that the Office.js library is loaded.
Office.onReady((info) => {
    if (info.host === Office.HostType.Outlook) {
        item = Office.context.mailbox.item;
        setSubject();
    }
});

// Sets the subject of the item that the user is composing.
function setSubject() {
    // Customize the subject with today's date.
    const today = new Date();
    const subject = `Summary for ${today.toLocaleDateString()}`;

    item.subject.setAsync(
        subject,
        { asyncContext: { optionalVariable1: 1, optionalVariable2: 2 } },
        (asyncResult) => {
            if (asyncResult.status === Office.AsyncResultStatus.Failed) {
                write(asyncResult.error.message);
                return;
            }

            /*
              The subject was successfully set.
              Run additional operations appropriate to your scenario and
              use the optionalVariable1 and optionalVariable2 values as needed.
            */
        });
}

// Writes to a div with id="message" on the page.
function write(message) {
    document.getElementById("message").innerText += message; 
}
