Problem:
Using LotusScript, is it possible to append one RichTextItem (RTItem) to another but without
a prompt to save the document?

Solution:
Below is a sample script that illustrates how to append one RTItem to another using
LotusScript. Note, however, that the changes are not visible until the document (after the
script has completed) is closed and reopened. Also note that the AppendRichTextItem method
appends only the first 32K of a RichTextItem; the remainder is truncated.

Sample Script:

Sub Click(Source As Button)

Dim w As New notesuiworkspace
Dim uidoc As notesuidocument
Dim docA As NotesDocument

Dim rtitemA As Variant
Dim rtitemB As Variant

Set uidoc=w.currentdocument
Set docA=uidoc.document
Call uidoc.save
'...set values of docA and docB...
Set rtitemA = docA.GetFirstItem( "Body" )
Set rtitemB = docA.GetFirstItem( "Body1" )

If ( rtitemA.Type = RICHTEXT And rtitemB.Type = RICHTEXT ) Then
Call rtitemA.AddNewLine( 1 )
Call rtitemA.AppendRTItem( rtitemB )
docA.body1=""
doca.saveoptions="0"
Call docA.Save( False, True )
Call uidoc.close
End If

End Sub

Supporting Information:
The NotesRichTextItem LotusScript class is a back-end class. As shown above, it is possible
to use it in the UI.
