ABSTRACT:

Description Sample code which shows how to use Novell ActiveX controls for searching NDS objects. This sample allows you to search for any NDS object providing a name pattern like "W*" and a start context for the search

To keep the code simple no error handling is implemented

Usage:

At startup the application reads all available NDS classes

(i.e., object types) and places them into a combo box

The NDS fields relevant for that NDS class are stored in

a 2nd combo box

As default search pattern the app takes the first letter

of your login name followed by an "*" (e.g., "W*")

As default starting context for the search the app uses

your current container

If the search button is pressed, the app starts the search and

stores the results in a list box

As one entry from the result list is selected, the selected

NDS attribute will be read for the selected object
