Making MindReader work on MM5

From ActivityOwnerWiki

Update

ActivityOwner has updated the downloadable version of the MindReader macros with this change

It has now also been tested on V6 (!) and appears not to break things...

MM6-specific features that need to be changed

The macro file MindReaderOpen.mmbas contains one reference to a feature that is MM6-specific.

Open the macro file in a text editor and find line 29:

If mtopic.TextLabels.ContainsTextLabel("In-tray*") Then

To make this code work on MM5 do the following:

1. comment out the code above by inserting REM at the beginning of the line
2. insert a new line of code immediately below that says If InStr(LCase(mtopic.Task.Categories), "in-tray*") > 0 Then

The code should now look like this:

 For Each mtopic In ActiveDocument.CentralTopic.AllSubTopics
   Rem the next line is the one that breaks on Mindmanager X5 object model 5.2.2
   Rem If mtopic.TextLabels.ContainsTextLabel("In-tray*") Then
   If InStr(LCase(mtopic.Task.Categories), "in-tray*") > 0 Then
    Set itopic=mtopic
    found=True
 End If
