You can use these methods to notify your team members by e-mail that they need to update their project lists when working under source control. MORE INFORMATION ================ The following ProjectHook class enables you to automatically notify members of your team when you have changed the project. 1. Copy the code below into a VCX. 2. Create a ProjectHook class, and add the custom property ProjectEmail and the custom methods SendMail and GetProjectName. 3. Copy the code from here into the appropriate methods, and set the ProjectEmail to the correct address. Height, Width, and Name are irrelevant for these purposes. 4. Attach it to a project by choosing Project Info from the Project menu. There is a check box and text box at the bottom for Project Class. Fill in the reference to the class you have created here. DEFINE CLASS notifyhook AS projecthook Height = 22 Width = 22 *-- This is the address to which notifications will be sent. Set it up as a mailing list before using this hook. projectemail = "MyProjectGroup" Name = "notifyhook" PROCEDURE SendMail LPARAMETER tcMessage LOCAL loSession, loMessage, loRecip *!* For more details on Messaging, see the MSDN library. *!* As of July 1999: *!* Platform SDK *!* Messaging and Collaboration *!* CDO 1.2.1 *!* CDO Library *!* Guide *!* Introduction *!* Quick Start loSession = CREATEOBJECT("MAPI.Session") *!* Here you stuff an ENTER to the keyboard.
