Reading mailinbox_keyboard.lua you can see how the attachment slots are created. The important part is where ZO_Inventory_BindSlot is called with SLOT_TYPE_MAIL_ATTACHMENT. This determines what happens when you interact with that item slot. When you search the inventoryslot.lua for that slot type, you can see that it passes GetAttachedItemLink, MAIL_INBOX:GetOpenMailId() and ZO_Inventory_GetSlotIndex(inventorySlot) to ZO_LinkHandler_CreateChatLink.
This means calling GetAttachedItemLink(MAIL_INBOX:GetOpenMailId(), ZO_Inventory_GetSlotIndex(inventorySlot)) will give you the item link for the attachment and from there you can use any of the item link functions to extract whatever info you need. |
(If you follow that definition, you get
linkFunction() which again is meaningless. Doesn't tell me how to get the name without a bagId.)
I was going to say that I had already tracked into
SLOT_TYPE_MAIL_ATTACHMENT, when I clicked
GetAttachedItemLink again, and again seeing no definition - but this time clicking on the
single reference mentioned there. Ironically, a line below that reference has
GetItemLinkName() which gives me a solution.
A convoluted and awkward solution, but it does work!
Thanks again siri.
tl;dr
Code:
local link = GetAttachedItemLink(MAIL_INBOX:GetOpenMailId(), ZO_Inventory_GetSlotIndex(inventorySlot), LINK_STYLE_DEFAULT)
local name = GetItemLinkName(link)
ESO DEVELOPERS: Would be nice if the Control just had this .name in a .data, like the inventory does.
How come it doesn't?
