How to access Lotus Notes from C++?

We want to access the Lotus Notes database and data using C++. Is it possible using some libraries? If yes, please specify some or where can we get the detailed information.

Is ODBC connection necessary?

Do come forward with any ideas if possible.

Thanks.

You can use either the C API or C++ API toolkits (C API is lower level - supports all platforms and all low level structures, but it can take a lot to get the work done. C++ API is higher level - not always as up to date as the C API, but it can be easier to do many things in Notes)
