Hello,
I have a application I developed for Lotus Notes 5.0 which uses the LNAction class to look at objects.
I am testing the same application on Lotus Notes 6.0 and when I execute the statement action.GetCount() I get the error
Rich text object is invalid.
I have updated to the latest C++ api (version 2.3) and have tried everything.
What does this error indicate and how can I fix it.

Hi Michael,
I’m on the C++ API development team, can you provide a generic copy of the database in question? We can check it out.
Thanks

I’m having the same exact problem with the GetCount() function. Has anyone found the answer to this? I’m using the c++ api 2.3 with Notes 6.0.1.
Also if I try to access any actions in the LNActions collection I also get an error, “Object or data is corrupted.”
Thanks.

I finally found the culprit: there’s a new construct in the on-disk representation of actions that is not being handled correctly. It’s built around the CDIGNORE record. Unfortunately, it still fails in Release 2.4 of the C++ API, and there’s no way to work around the problem using the C++ API. This will require a bug fix for the C++ API.

Hello,
Is there a solution to this yet?

I am experiencing a similar problem and I would like to know if this problem can be avoided using the C API, and if so, how?
Is there an example of how to achieve this? I have been using both APIS (C, C++) and I have encountered problems on both, however my skills on C API are limited.
Thanks a lot for your help.

It certainly isn’t a problem with the C API. Our Midas Rich Text LSX handles manipulation of rich text that uses the CDIGNORE and it does it all with the C API.

Is there already a fix for this bug or at least do you have an approximate date for its release?
Subject: I thought there was an announcement that the C++ API would not be supported going forward
I’m not sure about this, but it would be worthing checking.
Subject: RE: I thought there was an announcement that the C++ API would not be supported going forward
If this is true, the only way to work around this bug is to use C API?
Subject: RE: I thought there was an announcement that the C++ API would not be supported going forward
The only ways would be to a) work with the C API, b) work with DXL, or c) work with a third party product.

Thank you very much for your information, Mr. Langhinrich.

Does anyone know if this was resolved in the 3.0 C++ API release? I am having a similar problem - the LNAction::GetFormula method always fails, with an error code which translates to “Invalid formula format.”

Hello,
The problem is with any Lotus Notes 6.0 Database. What might help is a sample of my code below.
// set error handler to capture any errors raised during function code
LNSetThrowAllErrors(true);
try
{
Session.Init();
// Must call this after session init
SrcDatabaseName = SrcFile;
SrcServerName = "";
DestDatabaseName = DestFile;
DestServerName = DestServer;
Session.GetDatabase(SrcDatabaseName, &DocDB, SrcServerName);
DocDB.Open();
Status = DocDB.GetForm("Memo", &SrcForm);
if (Status == 0)
{
SrcForm.Open();
Status = SrcForm.GetActions(&srcActions);
// Now set the actions
if (Status == 0)
{
Session.GetDatabase(DestDatabaseName, &DestDB, DestServerName);
DestDB.Open();
Status = DestDB.GetForm("Memo", &DestForm);
DestForm.Open();
Status = DestForm.GetActions(&destActions);
Action = srcActions[0];
//First delete all the mjs actions
nIndex = 0;
while (nIndex < destActions.GetCount())
{
Action = destActions[nIndex];
title = Action.GetTitle();
stitle = title;
if (stitle.Find("MJS",0) >= 0)
{
destActions.Delete(nIndex,1);
}
else
nIndex++;
}
{
Pos = 0;
//for (nIndex = srcActions.GetCount() - 3; nIndex < srcActions.GetCount(); nIndex++)
for (nIndex = 0; nIndex < 3; nIndex++)
{
Action = srcActions[nIndex];
title = Action.GetTitle();
stitle = title;
if (stitle.Find("MJS",0) >= 0)
{
destActions.Insert(Pos, Action);
Pos++;
}
}
DestForm.Save();
}
DestForm.Close();
SrcForm.Close();
AfxMessageBox("MJS");
}
}
}

Hi Martin,I’m sorry about the long wait (was away), we are looking into this.
The Principle developer mentioned that this sounded familiar. I’ll post more information as I get it.
