It sounds like what has been generalised to become the Bott-Borel-Weyl
theorem. This tells you when the sheaf or Dolbeault cohomology
of a homogeneuous bundle on G/P vanishes and if it doesn't
vanish it tells you what which irreducible representation of G it is.
But thats all overkill if want you want is line bundles on projective space.
For that try
