Drag and drop APIs

2010-04-04T17:15:00.000-07:00

I was reading this about drag and drop APIs. Here is my scenario : In-box you select a document and drag it to Widget in the sidebar and when you drop it, it executes an lotusscript agent and process the email according to the script. It can be a frameset or but not a campsite app. The above link is nice way to do this but i like to keep it in the Widget category.

Any thoughts on this ?

Alternate rows for diffrent color .Can it be changed in LS ?

2010-03-27T05:11:00.000-07:00

in Help am reading "
Specify a grid style for the view. Use "Color" option to set a color for the grid lines.
Note Non-resizable columns and response only columns do not display gridlines. Categorized views, views with flat headings, and views with simple headings only display horizontal gridlines. "

how do i change alternate rows for diffrent color ?

Code is


Sub Initialize

 

'Loops through all views and sets column and header attributes to standards 

 

 

Dim uiw As New NotesUIWorkspace 

 

Dim view As NotesView 

 

Dim vc As NotesViewColumn 

 

Dim db As NotesUIDatabase

 

 

 

Set db = uiw.CurrentDatabase 

'Get number of views in database 

 

 

Dim J As Integer 

 

Dim i As Integer

 

For J = 0 To Ubound(db.Database.Views) 

'Begins changing each view 

 

 

Set view = db.Database.Views(J)

'Set view background color 

 

 

view.BackgroundColor = COLOR_WHITE

'Set first column to bold and 12 pt. 

 

 

Set vc = view.Columns(0) 

 

vc.FontFace = "Default Sans Serif" 

 

vc.FontPointSize = 12 

 

vc.FontStyle = VC_FONT_BOLD 

 

vc.FontColor = COLOR_BLACK

'Set all other columns to plain and 10 pt. 

 

 

For i = 1 To Ubound(view.Columns) 

 

Set vc = view.Columns(i) 

 

vc.FontFace = "Default Sans Serif" 

 

vc.FontPointSize = 10 

 

vc.FontStyle = VC_FONT_PLAIN 

 

vc.FontColor = COLOR_BLACK

 

Next 

'Set all headers to same font color, face, and point size. 

 

 

For i = 0 To Ubound(view.Columns) 

 

Set vc = view.Columns(i) 

 

vc.HeaderFontFace = "Default Sans Serif" 

 

vc.HeaderFontPointSize = 10 

 

vc.HeaderFontStyle = VC_FONT_BOLD 

 

vc.HeaderFontColor = COLOR_DARK_BLUE

 

Next

 

Next 

 

Call uiw.ViewRebuild

 

End Sub

Quickr place Superusers

I was talking to an college of mine the other day and we talking about some of the nice features Quickr has and we stopped at question about email been sent and saved to a place.

Can a email be saved as response doc to a ProjectName with in Project DB from Snapps by using Connectors or by sending it via email . We do understand that the email does get listed in index

We also understand that we could created some hooks to do this but i like your input on this matter. Have you done this ? Any sample db out there. Thanks

Spell checker in Notes

2010-02-21T07:10:00.000-08:00

Spell checking "on the run" in Lotus notes is not as simple as it seams , specially if you like to have multiple language on the same page I did a drop down selection to change this in open Memo form

From here i though i could change the Environment settings in the INI file on the fly but as Thomas has pointed out in his blog it just not working . I did go the Developers lab at LS10 and they did have a expert that was going to send me some information on this but as of today there is no email from them yet.

Has anyone solved this ? Is there away around this ? source code i using is here

My hard copy of the Redbooks Wiki for Domino 8.5 web application development

2010-02-12T04:11:00.000-08:00

404 into 202 Duplex pages - it much easier for me to read this kind material from hard copy then from the computer screen so i printed it out.

Thank you
