After creating a Notes Mail Database Size Indicator - graphic version, a version for Notes 8 Standard was introduced on Conxsys Blog.
This is a nice peace of work. The only thing I wondered: why would I need it, if you have a mail indicator as a standard feature on the Notes server? Some weeks later I found an answer on this question myself: with my client, they installed Notes 8 Basic (unfortunately not my decision) while keeping the Notes 6.5 server as running platform (unfortunately not my decision).
I saw a post on IdeaJam asking for a solution to this problem.
The thing is: if you have an action button on top of an embedded view and this button tries to run code that refreshes or saves the uidoc (t.i. the document that has the embedded view on it), this will crash your client.
Wouldn’t it be cool to have this in your mailbox?
.
Our local admin asked me if this is doable, and I thought it was a brillant idea and a very practical example on how to use this tip: A progress bar in Lotus Notes
It’s an indicator that, eh, indicates how much space you’ve used from your mail database size quotum.
Challenge
- Find doclink in a richtext field.
- Use doclink to get linked document and retrieve some values from it.
When I started developing Viewnify, I stumbled upon all kind of problems and at first it was really hard to discover where the troubles were located.
Viewnify extensively uses DXL to alter the design of all views of a database. For those who don’t know what DXL is yet, it’s an XML representation of Domino data or design elements. In other words, such file can contain all info stored in a document or all design properties from a design element, or even a whole database. This gives you all kinds of powerful possibilities. But with great power comes great responsibility (sorry, I just had to use this quote here, couldn’t resist ;-))
I needed some way of listing all design elements that have the property “Prohibit design refresh or replace to modify” enabled. Instead of doing this manually, I created a little agent that does this for me.
Saving any changes could cause a loss of design information.
I think you know this phrase. Handy. Necessary. A good thing. But sometimes a pain in the spot where the sun never shines.
There’s @ReplaceSubstring in formula, there’s the FindAndReplace method for a NotesRichtextRange in LotusScript, but it doesn’t exist for a ordinary string.
This is the shortest (one line of code) function I can think of to build my own FindAndReplace. It can be a very old tip, or a very obvious one, I don’t know.
