[python-win32] How to set value for multi-valued property using mapi?

[Kapil Dolas]

Hi,

I want to set multiple values for multi-valued property using SetProps.
SetProps takes list of tuples of tag and value as argument, where value
should be string or unicode. How to set multiple values for multi-valued
property in this case? Should I convert list of values to string or
something like that?

Regards,
Kapil

The multi-valued property's type specifies what the values being passed should be. The below example's named property happens to be PT_MV_UNICODE, so we get and set the values using unicode.

msg.GetProps((0x80a2101f,))

(0, ((2158104607L, (u'Orange category', u'Green category', u'Blue category')),))

msg.SetProps( ((0x80a2101f,(u'Orange category', u'Green category', u'Blue category', u'Red category')),) )

(0, None)

msg.GetProps((0x80a2101f,))

(0, ((2158104607L, (u'Orange category', u'Green category', u'Blue category', u'Red category')),))

Hth,

Hi Nick,

Thank you for replying. I tried example given by you and it worked. All MV
properties are working in the same way, except ones of type PT_MV_BINARY.
Can you give me example for setting PT_MV_BINARY values?

Thanks and Regards,

I think you will need to apply this patch for PT_MV_BINARY to work: http://sourceforge.net/p/pywin32/patches/137/

Oops - that's been pending for about a year - sorry about that. I just
pushed it.
