A common use for LotusScript is to control the deletion of documents. I found 
myself often wanting to assure that when a user deletes a document, all of that
document's descendants were removed as well.

The following piece of code can be called from anywhere you have a handle to a NotesDocument object. You pass this sub a NotesDocument and it will delete that document as well as all descendants.



Code

Sub DeleteHierarchy(docToDelete As NotesDocument)
%REM
This code will delete a document and all of its descendants.
PARAMETERS
docToDelete - NotesDocument object the represents the NotesDocument to be
 deleted.
RETURN
Nothing is returned.
%END REM
	
Dim ndcResponses As NotesDocumentCollection
Dim docResponse As NotesDocument
' docNextResponse is a pointer to the next document in the response collection.
' This is needed because the current response is removed before a call to 
GetNextDocument can be made.
Dim docNextResponse As NotesDocument  
	
Set ndcResponses = docToDelete.Responses
If ndcResponses.Count > 0 Then
   Set docResponse = ndcResponses.GetFirstDocument
   Do While Not docResponse Is Nothing
      Set docNextResponse = ndcResponses.GetNextDocument(docResponse)
      Call DeleteHierarchy(docResponse)
      Set docResponse = docNextResponse
   Loop
End If
Call docToDelete.Remove(True)
	
End Sub
