Accessing a Doclink by Lotus Script

[Jan Altmann]

Hi,

does anybody knows how i can access a Doclink (included in a RichText-Field)
by Lotus Script ?
I have the following problem :
When i open the document by using the backend-classes and looking the
variables in the script-debugger, i can't see that there is an included
doclink - but it is there. How can i get the information which are stored in
that link ? I want to get some information (field values) from the linked
document by using backend-functions - i don't want to open it in frontend.
Can anybody help me ?

Thanks

See NotesEmbeddedObject class in the Help
You should do something like this:

Dim doc As NotesDocument
Dim rtitem As Variant
'...set value of doc...
Set rtitem = doc.GetFirstItem( "your RichText-Field" )
If ( rtitem.Type = RICHTEXT ) Then
Forall o In rtitem.EmbeddedObjects
If ( o.Type = EMBED_OBJECTLINK ) Then
'...do what you want
End If
End Forall
End If

Doclinks are not NotesEmbeddedObjects, so I'm afraid this method won't work
(it's for OLE objects).

I don't know of any useful way to work with doclinks in a rich text field.
Perhaps Genii's LSX includes this functionality? They might also be visible
through the C API.

Here is some info from notes help:

EmbeddedObjects property

Defined in
NotesRichTextItem
Data type
Array of NotesEmbeddedObjects
Syntax
To get: notesEmbeddedObjectArray = notesRichTextItem.EmbeddedObjects
Usage
This property includes OLE/1 and OLE/2 embedded objects and object links
as well as file attachments.
If you need access to OLE/2 embedded objects that exist in a document but
are not part of a rich-text item (for example, because the object was
originally created on the document's form), use the EmbeddedObjects
property in NotesDocument.

The original poster asked about doclinks... (i.e., what's on the clipboard
when you go Edit -> Copy as Link -> ... )
Doclinks are not object links. They are not embedded objects.

MIDAS.LSX extension by Geniisoft or Notes C/C++ API
