Determine unread mails viaVB(a)

Hi all,

I'm trying to determine all the unread (red) messages from a lotus
notes database from VB(a). I'm able to open the NotesDatabase and
NotesDocument and thing like that. No problem there. My question: how
can I determine whether a specific document is 'unread' of how can I
select all unread documents in a database or view?

The use of UnprocessedDocuments or even UnprocessedSearch on the
Database object results in an error 'Not implemented'

All help appreciated!

I'm not aware of any means how to do it in VB with native script
(COM).

In my book "LotusScript to Lotus C API programming guide"
(http://www.ls2capi.com) I show how to manipulate unread marks from
LotusScript calling C API. You should be able to use the same ideas
from VB. Several samples in the book that use VB deal with other
issues, but at least they mention what is different when you call
Lotus C API from VB. Besides you probably know that each documents is
"unread" only for a specific user and maybe is "read" for another.

It does not sound easy and is not, but that's the best I have.

regards
Normunds
