SendMail prerequisites?

[Sternentau]

is the SendMail function functionable for addONs?
I was not able to send mail

"SendMail(string to, string subject, string body)"

nothing happened, neither the message was sent nor an error...

Not 100% sure but try issuing the command while you have the send mail scene visible (e.g. Open your mail inbox then select the send mail tab)

I use sendmail() but it doesn't seem to work if scene is not active

That worked. Thanks a lot.
Now i have to deal how to open and to close the mail scene

SCENE_MANAGER:Show("mailInbox")
SCENE_MANAGER:Hide("mailInbox")
SCENE_MANAGER:Toggle("mailInbox")
 
SCENE_MANAGER:Show("mailSend")
SCENE_MANAGER:Hide("mailSend")
SCENE_MANAGER:Toggle("mailSend")
 
--or instead of hiding current scene, show base scene (that's what "Exit" button on keybind strip does):
SCENE_MANAGER:ShowBaseScene()

Hello mates.

I tried something out like this:

--------------------------------------------
SLASH_COMMANDS["/mail"] = function()
SCENE_MANAGER:Show("mailSend")
SendMail("@xyz","abc","abc")
SCENE_MANAGER:Hide("mailSend")
end
--------------------------------------------

If i write "/mail" in chat, i send an automatic mail and the mail-screen disappears after all.
The focus on screen is existing ( i can move around with camera ), but the cross in the middle of the screen has no function unfortunately. Except i press "W,A,S,D,Mouseclick".
Is there a possibility getting automatically focus back on screen/cross?

I hope it is understandable enough

regards
Marcel

If you hide the scene, you're basically still in the mail scene, it's just hidden. I think you'd need to close it instead of hiding it, to give control back to the basic game?

edit: err... answering a different question :/

You could try:

SCENE_MANAGER:Push("mailSend")
...
SCENE_MANAGER:PopScenes(1)

Ok I tried another way, basically what I used in an add-on that just opened mailSend and pre-filled the fields; adding return to previous scene:

local returnScene = SCENE_MANAGER:GetCurrentScene():GetName()
SCENE_MANAGER:Show("mailSend")
SCENE_MANAGER:CallWhen("mailSend", SCENE_SHOWN, function()
    d("shown " .. SCENE_MANAGER:GetCurrentScene():GetName())
    d("going back to " .. returnScene)
    if returnScene then
        SCENE_MANAGER:Show(returnScene)
    else
        SCENE_MANAGER:Hide("mailSend") 
    end
end)

Works for me. The issue you described looks like a bug I've been experiencing since launch. Often after playing for some time, whenever I close the map, mouse-turning doesn't work, I have to click. The only solution I've found so far is /reloadui

edit: oh, I've just noticed the thing above itself works, but somehow breaks my inbox, I can't read the first mail in the list :/ /reloadui doesn't help

Same Problem as before, i lose the focus on cross :/
Look for another approach.
Thx all.
