CurrentDatabase ? (by Kenneth Haggman, 06/20/2005 12:29:32 AM) |  |
Hi Normunds.
A couple of questions regarding "session".
I have begun some exploration into using external database drivers.
Essentially, if I uncderstand the concept correctly, you can create your own DLL that "extends" a DbColumn. All that happens is that your DLL gets invoked instead of the standard Notes DbColumn. What happens in the DLL is up to you.
Now, consider this scenario.
1. A user clicks a smarticon that invokes a DLL, which has been created as above.
2. The DLL extracts the current id-file and the current password.
3. The DLL also extracts the current server/database.
4. The DLL calls a standard exe-file (created in vb, Delphi or whatever) and passes the extracted data as parameters.
5. The exe-file uses the data to instantiate/initialize a NotesSession and to open the current database.
This should work, provided point 3 above. Is it possible, using the API's, to get the "Current Database"?
