Export Notes record as RTF file using C API
Hi
I need to export notes records as Microsoft RTF files.
Just like using File>Export and choosing Microsoft RTF.
I need to do it with via .NET application (using c API or Notes COM). Can't run any LS or add anything to the database.
There's a function called ExportRTF on nxrtf.dll that should do the job, but I can't get it running from .NET application.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks
Yoni

SysExpert: well...appreciate the somewhat better direction, but I'm looking for C#.NET or VB.NET, not the C API. I'm going to dig into it further, but thus far, I have trouble believing there are no better samples out there for doing what must be a fairly common scenario.
sjef_bosman: Just what I'm looking for other than Single developer - US $795. Ouch! You've got to be kidding me! I just want access to the address book which there should be no need to go so high-powered.
Here's what I've got that functions to send off an email (although doesn't open it up for further editing, requires email address, etc.):
Dim Maildb As Object
Dim MailDoc As Object
Dim Body As Object
Dim Session As Object
'Start a session to notes
Session = CreateObject("Notes.NotesS
'Open the mail database in notes
Maildb = Session.GETDATABASE("", "C:\Program Files\lotus\notes\data\mai
If Not Maildb.IsOpen = True Then
Maildb.Open()
End If
'Create the mail document
MailDoc = Maildb.CREATEDOCUMENT
MailDoc.Form = "Memo"
'Set the recipient
MailDoc.sendto = "ted@somewhere.com"
'Set subject
MailDoc.Subject = "Subject text"
'Create and set the Body content
Body = MailDoc.CREATERICHTEXTITEM
Call Body.APPENDTEXT("Body text here")
'Example to create an attachment (optional)
Call Body.ADDNEWLINE(2)
'Call Body.EMBEDOBJECT(1454, "", "C:\filename", "Attachment")
'Example to save the message (optional)
MailDoc.SAVEMESSAGEONSEND = True
'Send the document
MailDoc.PostedDate = Now() 'Gets the mail to appear in the Sent items folder
Call MailDoc.SEND(False)
'Clean Up
Maildb = Nothing
MailDoc = Nothing
Body = Nothing
Session = Nothing
Of course, it's not all really updated to .NET, but it works. Because it does, again, I have trouble believing there's not a simple solution already existing out there that will open up a new email with the Body and Subject already specified, but with To: field empty etc. I've done it with Outlook, Outlook Express, written an internal email application, but hooking it up with Lotus is rather interesting.
Thanks for any and all help!
