Outlook Body text Tab character insertion

Divya

Hi,

I used "Mail" Codeunit to create mails from navision. I have added body text of the mail. But I need to write in the mail like,

XXXX <tab> : <tab> X1
YYYY <tab> : <tabl> Y1

It should be aligned properly, and Here my code is,

Chr9 := 9;
Chr13 := 13;
MailMgt.AddBodyline('XXX' + Chr9 + ':' + Chr9 + 'X1' + Chr13);
MailMgt.AddBodyline('YYY' + Chr9 + ':' + Chr9 + 'Y1' + Chr13);

But instead of TAB, it is printing as SPACES. It is not alligned properly. I could not find out the issue.
Please give me any idea about this issue.

Thanks,
Divya

I guess Chr9 and Chr13 are of Data Type Char.

Use

MailMgt.AddBodyline('XXX' + FORMAT(Chr9) + ':' + FORMAT(Chr9) + 'X1' + FORMAT(Chr13));
MailMgt.AddBodyline('YYY' + FORMAT(Chr9) + ':' + FORMAT(Chr9) + 'Y1' + FORMAT(Chr13));

I used following code rather than using .AddBodyline function and working fine..

Chr9 := 9;
Chr13 := 13;

BodyTxt := ('XXX' + FORMAT(Chr9) + ':' + FORMAT(Chr9) + 'X1' + FORMAT(Chr13));
BodyTxt := BodyTxt + ('YYY' + FORMAT(Chr9) + ':' + FORMAT(Chr9) + 'Y1' + FORMAT(Chr13));

MailMgt.NewMessage('abc@gmail.com','','Hi',BodyTxt,'',FALSE);
MailMgt.Send;

Can you show your code please..

Divya

hi.. try this code..

Chr9 := 9;
Chr13 := 13;

BodyTxt := ('XXXXX' + FORMAT(Chr9) + ':' + FORMAT(Chr9) + 'X1' + FORMAT(Chr13));
BodyTxt := BodyTxt + ('YYYYYYY' + FORMAT(Chr9) + ':' + FORMAT(Chr9) + 'Y1' + FORMAT(Chr13));

MailMgt.NewMessage('abc@gmail.com','','Hi',BodyTxt,'',TRUE);

Offcorce, here You have 5 X's in first line and 7 Y's in second line..

If you have equal No. of letters in both lines then the allignment will be proper..

BUT, if im entering text manually in the outlook new mail message body section, It is working. It is aligned properly.

if 1st sentence chars is more than 2nd sentense, i can change the code to put 2 tab position, that is not a problem.
But even if i use 2 tab positon, it is not aligning.
