Hi all
Sorry if this thread has come up, but I was not able to find info on it.
I am writing a Delphi application which integrates with the messaging and calendary features of Notes. Before I send a message I would like to be able to resolve the recipient names into actual notes addresses.
For example, John Smith would resolve into CN=John Smith/O=DOMAIN if it exists, and would not resolve if it does not exist.
Here is the pseudo code of what I have been trying to do so far.
for all addressbooks in NotesSession
–method 1
view = get people view
doc = view.GetDocumentByKey(name, false)
–method2
for each document in docs in addressbook
nameVal = doc.fullname(1) //full name not in notes format
if name = nameVal then doc = document
–method 3
similar to method 2 in terms of looping through every document but I create NotesName object for both recipient name and for the e-mail address of the document and compare the common name properties on those.
end //for all addressbooks
return doc
All of these methods have a flaw. They will resolve Recipient name = John Smith just fine, but they will not resolve Recipient name = Smith John and perhaps some others normally accepted by Notes.
Is there an accepted way of resolving recipient names into addresses in Notes or am I stuck with one of my methods. Has this already been discussed. If so could someone please point me to that thread. Any help is welcome.
