Lotus Domino/Notes toolkits Summary (iii) c ++ API

3 Lotus C ++ API

3.1 Introduction

C ++ API is another toolkit based on c api. The two are similar:

• You can manipulate the vast majority of Data Objects in Domino/Notes:
  • Database: Create, copy, copy, delete, and modify an ACL
  • Document: Create, copy, and delete
  • Domain: creates, modifies, copies, and deletes the domain. It has powerful processing functions for the RTF domain.
  • View and folder usage
  • You can create validators and use validators to register users and servers.
• Can be used to create additional Domino service tasks

Main restrictions:
Similar to the main limits of c api:

• You cannot modify the existing Domino/Notes software.
• You cannot directly modify the database copy history and user activity records.
• You cannot modify the desktop information of the Notes client, for example, adding or deleting a database icon or modifying a title on the workbench.

Supported operating systems and compilers

Platform	Editor	Remarks
MS Windows NT/2000	Ms visual c ++ 6.0 IBM visualage C ++ 3.5	V2.3 does not support borglad C ++ editors, but V2.1 does.
Solaris	Sun WS
Linux	G ++
AIX	IBM portapak
AS/400

Latest Version
V2.3, released on 2003.03.10
3.2 Development and Use

The development and use of C ++ APIs are similar to those of C APIs. It also requires the support of the Notes/Domino Software and the security mechanism of Domino/Notes.

Object Structure

In addition, the API provides a large number of common functions to process these objects and has some built-in data types, such as lnstring, lntext, lnnumber, lndatetime, lnbool, lnchar, and lnint.

Program StructureBefore using the C ++ API, you also need to initialize and clean the Domino/Notes runtime environment, as shown in:

Development Environment
Take MS Visual C ++ 6.0 as an example.
Note that some header files in the C ++ API use the same name as those in the VC. For example:
MQ. H, neterr. H, and stats. h
Use the header file of the C ++ API. Therefore, you can also specify the absolute path of the header file in the program, for example:
# Include "C:/notescpp/include/MQ. H"
Or in the VC environment configuration, the include directory of the Notes API is listed in front of the include directory of the VC.
In short, C ++ APIs use object-oriented technology. When processing notes data objects, the program logic is clear and easy to read and maintain, high-performance applications can be developed with high efficiency. At the same time, you can also call c api in C ++ API to achieve better results.
