 Objective:
 Provide a Delete Button to delete selected documents in the current view, including an are-you-sure dialog:
 
 Sub Click(Source As Button)
 Dim w As New NotesUIWorkspace
 Dim s As New NotesSession
 Dim uiDb As NotesUIDatabase
 Dim uiV As NotesUIView
 Dim db As NotesDatabase
 Dim col As NotesDocumentCollection				' selected doc(s) to be deleted
 Dim cDoc As NotesDocument							' current doc in col to be deleted
 Dim cNxtDoc As NotesDocument					' doc after cDoc
 Dim askme As Integer									' are-you-sure nag prompt
 Dim asktitle As String										' title for prompt
 Dim askmsg As String									' message body for prompt
 
 Set uiDb = w.CurrentDatabase
 Set db = s.CurrentDatabase
 Set col = db.UnprocessedDocuments
 Set uiV = w.CurrentView
 
 If Not (col.Count = 0) Then
 ' have documents selected. confirm first
 If (col.Count>1) Then
 asktitle = "Delete Selected Documents?"
 askmsg = "You have " & Cstr(col.Count) & " documents selected. Are you sure you want to delete them?"
 Else
 asktitle = "Delete Selected Document?"
 askmsg = "Are you sure you want to delete the document you have currently selected?"
 End If
 askme = w.Prompt (PROMPT_YESNO, asktitle, askmsg)
 If askme = 1 Then
 ' delete document(s)
 Set cDoc = col.GetFirstDocument()
 While Not (cDoc Is Nothing)
 ' get next doc while key doc still exists
 Set cNxtDoc = col.GetNextDocument(cDoc)
 Call s.UpdateProcessedDoc(cDoc)
 ' delete doc
 Call cDoc.Remove(True)
 ' loop
 Set cDoc = cNxtDoc
 Wend
 ' refresh view
 Call w.ViewRefresh()						' needed or docs won't disappear until manual refresh
 Call uiV.DeselectAll()						' otherwise the stubs are still selected!
