Creating new documents in Calendar using C++ toolkit

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

Hi there,

I am trying to build a program using the c++ toolkit. basically the program is suppose to be able to add/delete calendar appointments/meetings records from my mail database wtanctls.nsf.

Currently i have managed to create a new document. However, when i check the Lotus Notes UI, although the new contact is showing, the following errors always show when i try to double click the entry to view the document.

“error trying to open document: Note item not found”

Is there anyone who knows what the error is? Is it something i have missed out?

Thanks a million in advance. I have been troubled by this problem for days and will be very grateful to anyone that can help in anyway. Thanks once again.

Posted below is my sample program.

Subject: About displaying the added appointments on the Lotus Notes Calendar.

Hello Weelip, I am writing a program in Lotus C to add appointments to the Lotus Notes Calendar. They are getting added but they are not getting displayed properly Lotus Notes Calendar, when I open it. But, when I search for a string which is usually the data in the appointment, I can view the added appointments.

Also if I try to open the added appointments, I am getting the problem

“error trying to open document: Note item not found”

the same one, which you are facing. You told to add the Chair field, on which you got solved that problem. I added the chair field also, but still I am unable to view the added appointments, once I open the Lotus Notes Calendar after adding the appointments.

Can you please tell me where I am doing the mistake or any thing needs to be added more to my program to make the appointments get displayed.

Please do guide me in this regard and thanks a lot in response.

Subject: Creating new documents in Calendar using C++ toolkit.

have seen this error reported for calender entries that have been imported by outlook.

i’m not shure, but that’s probably caused by mailbox scriptclasses - maybe you have a chance to debug it, where this error is raised.

next step: use notespeek to get a look on this document and compare it to a similar created in notes - what’s the difference - are you missing some items?

have you check c-api user guide? it contains some documentation about what cal-events consist of?

why don’t you use c++ classes like LNCalender? maybe they don’t supply your needs?

Thanks Markus for your reply. Apparently i have missed out one field - the chair field. The program works now. Thanks.
