I am trying to programatically create documents using WriteOther from within a plugin, but using a contact other than the ApplicationState.CurrentContact. I have passed the actApp to the plugin, so have access to all I would have as my current logged in user. delContact is the new delivery Contact (different to the current contact).
MsgBox(actApp.ApplicationState.CurrentContact.FullName) 'Mr. Smith
actApp.ApplicationState.CurrentContact = delContact 'delContact = Mr. Jones
MsgBox(actApp.ApplicationState.CurrentContact.FullName) 'Mr. Jones
Dim UIcm AsUICorrespondenceManager = actApp.UICorrespondenceManager
UIcm.WriteOther("templateDocumentName")
UIcm.Dispose()
This reports the initial CurrentContact.FullName (Mr. Smith), and after the assignment reports the newly assigned CurrentContact.FullName (Mr. Jones).
However the document still mailmerges with the original contact details for Mr. Smith.
What do I have to do to trigger use of Mr. Jones's contact details in the mail merge?
Incidentally, although I can use UIcm.WriteOther(delContact) to do a mailmerge with the contact I want, this does not allow me to programatically set the template.
