Accessing Contacts using C++ toolkit

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Hi there,

I am trying to build a User interface to display all my contacts list and information in my contact list using the c++ toolkit.

An example will be suppose i have a person in my contact with the below information:-

First Name:John

Last Name:Smith

Office Number:12345678

Anyone there can tell me how retrieve the information?

Basically i have managed to opened the database and the document array and get some of the items. Am i doing the right thing? What is the next step i must do?

Thanks in advance.

Problem solved using the function below. Thanks anyway.

void CLotusTest9Dlg::OnNewDoc()

{

LNNotesSession Session;

LNDatabase db;

LNViewFolder view;

LNDocument NewDoc;

LNText FirstNameText,LastNameText,DocType;

LNText NewEmail,OfficePhoneText;

LNString LFirstName,LLastName,LOfficeNo,LEmail;

CString CFirstName,CLastName,COfficeNo,CEmail;

Session.Init();



Session.GetDatabase("C:\\Program Files\\lotus\\notes\\data\\names.nsf", &db);



db.Open();



db.GetViewFolder("Contacts", &view);



view.Open();



MessageBox(view.GetName());



if(db.CreateDocument(&NewDoc)==0)

	MessageBox("Document created");



NewDoc.SetForm("Person");



CFirstName = "Uchiha";

CLastName = "Sasuke";

COfficeNo = "77899654";

CEmail = "Sasuke@Uchiha.com";



LFirstName = CFirstName;

LLastName = CLastName;

LOfficeNo = COfficeNo;

LEmail = CEmail;



//Note: Cannot put CString into the function straightaway, so must put into LNString first



FirstNameText.SetValue(LFirstName);

NewDoc.CreateItem("FirstName",FirstNameText,LNITEMFLAGS_SUMMARY, LNITEMOPTION_DELETE_APPEND);//,LNITEMFLAGS_SUMMARY);

NewDoc.Save();



LastNameText.SetValue(LLastName);

NewDoc.CreateItem("LastName",LastNameText,LNITEMFLAGS_SUMMARY, LNITEMOPTION_DELETE_APPEND);//,LNITEMFLAGS_SUMMARY);

NewDoc.Save();



DocType.SetValue("Person");//standard field for 'Contacts'

NewDoc.CreateItem("Type",DocType,LNITEMFLAGS_SUMMARY, LNITEMOPTION_DELETE_APPEND);//,LNITEMFLAGS_SUMMARY);

NewDoc.Save();



OfficePhoneText.SetValue(LOfficeNo);

NewDoc.CreateItem("OfficePhoneNumber",OfficePhoneText,LNITEMFLAGS_SUMMARY, LNITEMOPTION_DELETE_APPEND);//,LNITEMFLAGS_SUMMARY);

NewDoc.Save();



NewEmail.SetValue(LEmail);

NewDoc.CreateItem("MailAddress",NewEmail,LNITEMFLAGS_SUMMARY, LNITEMOPTION_DELETE_APPEND);//,LNITEMFLAGS_SUMMARY);

NewDoc.Save();



NewEmail.SetValue(LEmail);

NewDoc.CreateItem("MailAddress",NewEmail,LNITEMFLAGS_SUMMARY, LNITEMOPTION_DELETE_APPEND);//,LNITEMFLAGS_SUMMARY);

NewDoc.Save();
