How to get all databases of a server (by Kenneth Haggman, 04/20/2005 06:47:54 PM) |  |
You are, of course, right in that using COM is so much easier than going though the C API's. I am well aware of that as well.
My whole point was to try to build an application where the user won't have to log in.
By using the NotesInitExtended and the NotesTerm API's, all the other API'd gets exposed, without the need for a COM NotesSession.
While that works, I also found (after long and hard work) that it's just not worth the effort.
A simple task like getting all available databases/templates of a server gets really complicated, and I am sure many other functions will be as well.
So, I eventually abandoned that idea and insted built a "hybrid" log in facility in which the VB application does a decent job of storing previous login credentials and automatically logs the user in when the application starts.
All in all, it works really well.
So, I am now using COM where I can, simply because the higher level approach makes most Notes/Domino operations so much easier.
Anyway, thanks for your response.
