Retrieve plain text from a Rich text field using lotus script

Hi,

I know this should be very easy but I cannot realize how to do it. I would be really grateful if someone could please tell me how can I do to retrieve the text that a Rich text field has.

I would be just that, using a UIDOC, I need retrieve the plain text and save it in a string variable.

Time is really appreciated as I am preparing a small application to show in a conference.

Best Regards,

The following piece of code should do it:

Dim ws As New NotesUIWorkspace

Dim doc As NotesDocument

Set doc = ws.CurrentDocument.Document

Msgbox doc.GetItemValue (“Body”) (0)

The UI document containing the Richtext field must have been saved before.
