exception behaviour
sysutil.exception

If I do this inside adx it does not catch the error and actually fails.
on e: sysutils.Exception do ShowMessage(e.Message);

Is there a way to handle exceptions inside ADX?

Hello Mervin,

In an event handler for what event do you do this?

Thanks for the quick response...
My code

/procedure TAddInModule.adxRibbonTab2Controls1Controls0Click(Sender: TObject;
/ const RibbonControl: IRibbonControl);
/var
/ Mail: _MailItem;
/ IAttachment: Attachment;
/ I: integer;
/ WorkerDir: String;
/begin
/Mail := OutlookApp.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem as _MailItem;
/ if Mail.Attachments.Count > 0 then
/ begin
/ for I := 1 to Mail.Attachments.Count do
/ begin
/ IAttachment := Mail.Attachments.Item(i);
/ if IAttachment.FileName = 'encrypted.pgp' then
/ begin
/ try
/ IAttachment.SaveAsFile(WorkerDir+IAttachment.FileName);
/ except
/ on e: Exception do
/ showmessage(e.message); <--- This seems to trip the system
/ end;
/ end;
/ end;
/ end

Mervin,

Are you sure that there must be an exception in the code above? What exception should occur? In what scenario? May the exception occur outside of the try/except block?

To answer your question directly, I can confirm that I use E: SysUtils.Exception successfully within adx, so as Andrei implies, this appears to be a problem with your usage, not with ADX.

Thanks yes... I have not had time to give feedback. You have to use systutils.exception as it seems there is an override with ADX and 'another' exception comes into play.

Best Regards

Mervin,

That's Outlook2000.Exception, I suppose. See also https://www.add-in-express.com/forum/read.php?FID=1&TID=13345
