GWXMail is a standard Active X component, so can be called from VB, Visual C/C++, or any other development environment that supports Active X. Only support for calling GWXMail from an ASP page is documented.

If gwmail32.dll is not already on the web server, copy it to the system32 directory, too. You do not need to run regsvr32 for gwmail32.dll.

If you have trouble registering GWXMail, check our online knowledgebase for tips.

You may include multiple recipients in the AddrTo, CC, or BCC statements, provided that you separate the recipients with a comma (as shown in the AddrTo line of the example above).

This example also shows that most of the properties are read/write, meaning that your code can both set the properties with an assignment statement (writing, as shown in the Mailer.AddrTo = line), or refer to the current value (reading, as shown in the Response.Write lines).

Clear	Resets all parameters to their defaults and clears the message buffer.
Send	Sends the message buffer, plus any attachments. Check the Error property after using the Send method to determine whether or not your mail was sent successfully.

AddrTo	read write	Required. Sets or returns the name(s) of the recipient(s).
BCC	read write	Optional. Sets or returns the name(s) of the BCC recipient(s).
CC	read write	Optional. Sets or returns the name(s) of the CC recipient(s).
Encoding	read write	Optional. Sets or returns an integer representing the encoding method to use for the attached file. Default is ENCODING_AUTO.
Error	read only	Returns a long indicating the last error encountered (zero means no error).
ErrorMessage	read only	Returns a textual description of the last error encountered.
ErrorsTo	read write	Optional. Sets or returns the email address for the ErrorsTo header.
Filename	read write	Required if sending a file. Sets or returns the path and name of a file to attach.
From	read write	Required. Sets or returns the name of the sender.
Message	read write	Required for email without an attachment, unless message buffer set with WriteChars or WriteLine. Sets or returns the contents of the message buffer. Note, setting this property will overwrite anything already in the message buffer, including text placed there with WriteChars or WriteLine.
ReplyTo	read write	Optional. Sets or returns the email address for the ReplyTo header.
SMTPHost	read write	Required. Sets or returns the name or IP address (specified as a string) of the SMTPHost to use.
Subject	read write	Optional. Sets or returns the email's subject.
UseDOSName	read write	Optional. Sets or returns a Boolean value controlling whether to generate a short file name for the attached file. Default is FALSE.
Version	read only	Returns a string indicating the GWXMail version.
WriteChars	write only	Optional. Appends text to the message buffer.
WriteLine	write only	Optional. Appends text plus a CRLF to the message buffer.

    ENCODING_AUTO = 0      ' to let DLL determine encoding
    ENCODING_DEFAULT = 0   ' synonym
    ENCODING_TEXT = 1      ' to force plain text (no encoding)
    ENCODING_UUENCODE = 2  ' to force UUENCODE
    ENCODING_BASE64 = 3    ' to force MIME Base64 encoding
    ENCODING_MIME = 3      ' synonym

Any other encoding method forces GWXMail to use that method, no matter what the contents of the file may be.
