Hi,

if you need an easy way to design the mailTo button you can use my macro for Designer (9.x and 10.x).

It will add a mailTo script to a regular button.

How to fix the problem? What changed?

I need to change the body of the message and not as ...

Please, I need your help.

thanks.

Can this be customized to include field data?

What I ran across in my searching (that worked) was to create hidden fields that contained the data I wanted to use. I also used a "dummy" submit button. The "real" submit button was created as a literal submit button and the following code inserted into the click event of the "dummy" button (which is a Regular button)

RealEmail.event__click.submit.target = "mailto:person@address.com?subject=" + SUBJECT.rawValue;

//app.alert(RealEmail.event__click.submit.target);

RealEmail.execEvent("click");

This code was modified from another's answer, but does the job. The field "SUBJECT" is set as "Hidden" in the presence drop-down of the object tab. I suspect one could add '&body=' as follows

RealEmail.event__click.submit.target = "mailto:person@address.com?subject=" + SUBJECT.rawValue + "&body=" + BODY.formattedValue;

You would create the field "BODY" and insert the message text and call the formatted value to fill it in. Set the field to "Hidden" so it does not affect your form layout. I am open to being corrected by more experienced scripters (Please and thank you) if I am in error, here.

If you choose to use fields the user has filled in, then yes. If you choose to use fields that you have filled and set to hidden, then the user will not see them, but the script WILL and it will use the data contained in them to generate the email subject/body.

You can do the following:

You have to use a normal button!!

//fill in e-mail
var Mailto = Formular1.s1.email.rawValue;
//var Mailto = "test@test.de";
 
//fill in subject
var SubjectBetreff = Formular1.s1.betreff.rawValue;
//var Betreff = "Test-Betreff";
 
//fill in message
var MessageNachricht = "Content PDF:\r" + "Field content: " + Formular1.s1.inhalt.rawValue + "\rName: " 
+ Formular1.s1.name.rawValue + "\rDatum: " + Formular1.s1.datum.formattedValue;
//var Nachricht = "This is a test message.\r2.row start here.\r3.row here.";
 
//fill in e-mail cc
var CC = Formular1.s1.emailcc.rawValue;
//var CC = "testcc@test.de";
 
//fill in e-mail bcc
var BCC = Formular1.s1.emailbcc.rawValue;
//var BCC = "testbcc@test.de";
 
var Mail = "mailto:" + Mailto + "?Subject=" + SubjectBetreff + "&Body=" + MessageNachricht + "&cc=" + CC + "&bcc=" + BCC;
 
//cSubmitAs: "PDF" send the pdf as attachment
//cSubmitAs: "XML" send the pdf as xml-attachment
event.target.submitForm({
cURL: Mail,
bEmpty: true,
cSubmitAs: "XML"
});

Hope it will helps you,

Kind regard Mandy
