Examples: Getting text renditions of rich text items in LotusScript® classes

  1. This agent uses NotesDocument.GetItemValue to get a text rendition of the Body item in the first (or only) selected document.
    Dim session As NotesSession
Dim db As NotesDatabase
Dim dc As NotesDocumentCollection
Dim doc As NotesDocument

Sub Initialize
  Set session = New NotesSession
  Set db = session.CurrentDatabase
  Set dc = db.UnprocessedDocuments
  If dc.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub
  Set doc = dc.GetFirstDocument
  bodyArray = doc.GetItemValue("Body")
  Messagebox bodyArray(0),, "Text of Body"
End Sub
  2. This agent uses NotesItem.Text to get a text rendition of the Body item in the first (or only) selected document.
    Dim session As NotesSession
Dim db As NotesDatabase
Dim dc As NotesDocumentCollection
Dim doc As NotesDocument
Dim item As NotesItem

Sub Initialize
  Set session = New NotesSession
  Set db = session.CurrentDatabase
  Set dc = db.UnprocessedDocuments
  If dc.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub
  Set doc = dc.GetFirstDocument
  Set item = doc.GetFirstItem("Body")
  If item Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
  Messagebox item.Text,, "Text of Body"
End Sub
  3. This agent uses NotesItem.Values to get a text rendition of the Body item in the first (or only) selected document.
    Dim session As NotesSession
Dim db As NotesDatabase
Dim dc As NotesDocumentCollection
Dim doc As NotesDocument
Dim item As NotesItem

Sub Initialize
  Set session = New NotesSession
  Set db = session.CurrentDatabase
  Set dc = db.UnprocessedDocuments
  If dc.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub
  Set doc = dc.GetFirstDocument
  Set item = doc.GetFirstItem("Body")
  If item Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
  Messagebox item.Values,, "Text of Body"
End Sub
  4. This agent uses NotesItem.Abstract to get an abbreviated text rendition of the Body item in the first (or only) selected document.
    Dim session As NotesSession
Dim db As NotesDatabase
Dim dc As NotesDocumentCollection
Dim doc As NotesDocument
Dim item As NotesItem

Sub Initialize
  Set session = New NotesSession
  Set db = session.CurrentDatabase
  Set dc = db.UnprocessedDocuments
  If dc.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub
  Set doc = dc.GetFirstDocument
  Set item = doc.GetFirstItem("Body")
  If item Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
  Messagebox item.Abstract(32, True, False),, "Text of Body"
End Sub
  5. This agent uses NotesRichTextItem.GetFormattedText to get a modified text rendition of the Body item in the first (or only) selected document.
    Dim session As NotesSession
Dim db As NotesDatabase
Dim dc As NotesDocumentCollection
Dim doc As NotesDocument
Dim rti As NotesRichTextItem

Sub Initialize
  Set session = New NotesSession
  Set db = session.CurrentDatabase
  Set dc = db.UnprocessedDocuments
  If dc.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub
  Set doc = dc.GetFirstDocument
  Set rti = doc.GetFirstItem("Body")
  If rti Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
  Messagebox rti.GetFormattedText(True, 20),, "Text of Body"
End Sub
  6. This agent uses NotesRichTextItem.GetUnformattedText to get a text rendition of the Body item in the first (or only) selected document.
    Dim session As NotesSession
Dim db As NotesDatabase
Dim dc As NotesDocumentCollection
Dim doc As NotesDocument
Dim rti As NotesRichTextItem

Sub Initialize
  Set session = New NotesSession
  Set db = session.CurrentDatabase
  Set dc = db.UnprocessedDocuments
  If dc.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub
  Set doc = dc.GetFirstDocument
  Set rti = doc.GetFirstItem("Body")
  If rti Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
  Messagebox rti.GetUnformattedText(),, "Text of Body"
End Sub
