How to replace launch properties of a database by Lotus Notes C API ?

Can u little clear on what u are trying to do? All i know is nsfdbgetextendedinfo is undocumented.

you can control the launch using database queryopen event also..

There is no need of api to manipulate what is launched...Instead you can pretty much control what will be shown in the Database script open event.

If you use frames, you can pretty much calculate the content which should be and not be shown.. like bookmark db

Is there any specific application of api that I am missing.. And also as far the c api can access I have seen DBOptions that can be accessed doesn't include the above said object.

just to concur qwal's answer , just see this :

I use this little piece of code to change the default navigator using a LortusScript agent:

Sub Initialize
      ' Change the Standard Navigator to Demo
      Dim session As New NotesSession
      Dim db As NotesDatabase
      Dim note As NotesDocument
      
      Set db = session.CurrentDatabase
      ' Get the Icon note
      Set note = db.GetDocumentByID("FFFF0010")      
      note.~$DefaultNavigator = "Demo"
      Call note.Save(True, False)
End Sub

When I have a straight forward method , why bother hacking thru .. it worked pretty good until R4. With advent of R5 that is made simpler ... And also this method will not yield dynamic page switch as frame does. You have to close and re-open the db to see the changes

I concur hemanth's answer also :-), if u see that was my first suggetion

Well, kiddies, I would guess there's a good reason for wanting to change the actual launch properties... maybe some sort of installer, or changes to user's local files, or something where a design change just isn't going to be easy to manage.

You are right, qwaletee, it's installer indeed :-)))). Thanks all answered and pgloor for code sample!
