Hello,
Our company is using Lotus Notes DB for processing requests in manual way.
I'm planning to automatize this process by creating C# application that will automatically handle requests.
Each request is separate document in LotusNotes DB. Requests can be in multiple statuses(for example when created it's in Open, when it's confirmed then it's Confirmed).
When it's done in manual way user is opening DB, going to specific view and will open document. Inside document(actually above) there is button called EDIT, when user clicks on it page switch itself into EDIT mode.
In edit mode user can see button called Action. When this action is pressed context menu appears and there are several possibility and one of them is Confirm. When button Confirm is clicked then Lotus Script is executed and will edit several items on page and then save it.
I wrote C# application, but I'm not able to figure out how can ask Lotus Notes to press that button and then select Confirm button. I want to avoid sending keystrokes to application.
Code:
...
using lotus;
using System.Reflection;
...
Type NotesSession = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("Notes.NotesSession");
Type NotesUIWorkspace = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("Notes.NotesUIWorkspace");
Object sess = Activator.CreateInstance(NotesSession);
Object ws = Activator.CreateInstance(NotesUIWorkspace);
NotesUIWorkspace.InvokeMember("OpenDatabase", BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, ws, new Object[] { "server", "dir\\requests.nsf", "REQUESTS\\Open" });
Object uidb = NotesUIWorkspace.InvokeMember("GetCurrentDatabase", BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, ws, null);
Object db = NotesUIWorkspace.InvokeMember("Database", BindingFlags.GetProperty, null, uidb, null);
Type NotesDatabase = db.GetType();
Type NotesView = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("Notes.NotesView");
Object view = NotesUIWorkspace.InvokeMember("GetView", BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, db, new Object[] {"REQUESTS\\Open"} );
Object Document = NotesUIWorkspace.InvokeMember("GetFirstDocument", BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, view, new Object[] { });
Object DocumentUI = NotesUIWorkspace.InvokeMember("EditDocument", BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, ws, new Object[] { true, Document });
At the end of this code I have in LotusNotes opened document that I want to edit, but I don't know how to ask C# to push that button. Alternative way is to not push button, but going to: Actions(in Maiu of Main Lotus Notes window) -> Action -> Confirm .
Thank you for any help.
