Examples: Removing an item

  1. This example uses the Remove method of the NotesItem class to remove all the ModifiedBy items in the database. To handle multiple items with the same name, the code removes items in a loop that tests HasItem.
    Sub Initialize
  Dim session As New NotesSession
  Dim db As NotesDatabase
  Dim dc As NotesDocumentCollection
  Dim doc As NotesDocument
  Dim item As NotesItem
  Set db = session.CurrentDatabase
  Set dc = db.AllDocuments
  Set doc = dc.GetFirstDocument()
  While Not(doc Is Nothing)
    If doc.HasItem("ModifiedBy") Then
      Set item = doc.GetFirstItem("ModifiedBy")
      Call item.Remove
      Call doc.Save(True, False)
      Set doc = dc.GetNextDocument(doc)
    End If
  Wend
End Sub
  2. This example uses the RemoveItem method of the NotesDocument class to remove all the ModifiedBy items in the database.
    Sub Initialize
  Dim session As New NotesSession
  Dim db As NotesDatabase  
  Dim dc As NotesDocumentCollection
  Dim doc As NotesDocument
  Set db = session.CurrentDatabase
  Set dc = db.AllDocuments
  Set doc = dc.GetFirstDocument()
  While Not(doc Is Nothing)
    If doc.HasItem("ModifiedBy") Then
      Call doc.RemoveItem("ModifiedBy")
      Call doc.Save(True, False)
    End If
    Set doc = dc.GetNextDocument(doc)
  Wend
End Sub
