V4CalendarPostItem Issue

Posted on by stevie_b

Hi - hoping someone can help. I followed an excellent YouTube tutorial on creating a simple calendar application. Most of it is working perfectly, but I want the user to be able to add an item from the SharePoint calendar into their personal calendar. The tutorial used an old version of PostItem, so I'm not sure sure what else I might need to change. The code below is a slightly tweaked version of what was in the tutorial.

dropdowncal is a dropdown box that allows the user to select which calendar to add an item to. This is working, so I think the data connection to Outlook is OK. The rest is throwing up a bunch of "invalid argument" errors.

Office365Outlook.V4CalendarPostItem(dropdowncal.Selected.Value, BrowseGallery1.Selected.Title, Text(BrowseGallery1.Selected.EventDate,DateTimeFormat.UTC), Text(BrowseGallery1.Selected.EndDate,DateTimeFormat.UTC), {Body: BrowseGallery1.Selected.Description, IsHtml: true, Location:BrowseGallery1.Selected.Location} );

UpdateContext({CalButton:false});UpdateContext({CalButtonDone:true})

@stevie_b
I had a similar issue the other when trying to do something like this. I went back to V2 and some parts worked but some didn't. I gave up trying after that and deleted my code attempts ...

Hi @yuxi666 - this is the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rsyyYiI4sU

I'm pleased to say that following some trial and error with a colleague I was able to get it working. I've added the updated OnSelect code below. It seems that V4CalendarPostItem had some different requirements to V2. I still need to add back in the ability to grab event location and description, but the events themselves are now correctly being entered into my calendar. The last part, Select(Icon4) is just the instruction to close the dialog box after the action is completed.

Office365Outlook.V4CalendarPostItem(dropdowncal.Selected.Name, BrowseGallery1.Selected.Title, Text(BrowseGallery1.Selected.EventDate,DateTimeFormat.UTC), Text(BrowseGallery1.Selected.EndDate,DateTimeFormat.UTC), "UTC"); Select(Icon4)
