ITEM_xxx [READWRITERS] - Item Data Type - Author Names

#include <nsfnote.h>

Symbolic Values :

Description :

Author Names fields have external (field definition) data type "Author Names". Domino grants author access to any entity named in an Author Names field.

At the API level, an Author Names field is an item of TYPE_TEXT or TYPE_TEXT_LIST with both the NAMES flag set and the READ/WRITE-ACCESS flag set. The NAMES flag corresponds to the ITEM_NAMES bit in the item flags. The READ/WRITE-ACCESS flag corresponds to the ITEM_READWRITERS bit in the item flags.

Since the API function NSFItemSetText does not set the ITEM_READWRITERS flag, use NSFItemAppend to append Author Names fields to documents.

Sample Usage :

STATUS  LNPUBLIC  AppendEditorsItem (NOTEHANDLE  hNote)
{
    STATUS      error = NOERROR;
    DWORD       dwValueLen;
    void far   *pvoidItemValue;
    LIST       *pList;
    USHORT     *pusLength;
    USHORT      usLen1, usLen2;
    char       *pchStr;

#define EDITORS1        "NADC Executives"
#define EDITORS2        "NADC Marketing"
#define EDITORS_COUNT   2

    usLen1 = strlen(EDITORS1);
    usLen2 = strlen(EDITORS2);

    dwValueLen = sizeof(LIST) + (EDITORS_COUNT * sizeof(USHORT)) +
                 usLen1 + usLen2 ;

    pvoidItemValue = (void far *) malloc ((size_t)dwValueLen);

    pList = (LIST*)pvoidItemValue;
    pList->ListEntries = EDITORS_COUNT;
    pList++;
    pusLength = (USHORT*)pList;
    *pusLength = usLen1;
    pusLength++;
    *pusLength = usLen2;
    pusLength++;
    pchStr = (char*)pusLength;
    memcpy (pchStr, EDITORS1, usLen1);
    pchStr += usLen1;
    memcpy (pchStr, EDITORS2, usLen2);

    if (error = NSFItemAppend ( hNote, 
                                ITEM_SUMMARY | ITEM_READWRITERS | ITEM_NAMES,
                                DISCUSS_ITEM_EDITORS,  /* "Editors" */
                                strlen(DISCUSS_ITEM_EDITORS),
                                TYPE_TEXT_LIST,
                                pvoidItemValue,
                                dwValueLen))
    {
        printf ("Error: unable to append Editors field.\n");
    }
    free (pvoidItemValue);
    return (error);
