I created XPages dialog box which shows users view in domino directory. The dialog box can pick up a user and save the user ID.
However in some causes I'd like to pick up some of peoples in the dialog. When I move to another page by pager, the selected check box are cleared.
I found the similar question but this is very old. Now is there good way?
Select All checkbox lotus xpages
I know this is feasible by repeat control but in the current case there are many data(about 10000 users) and want to use 'search'. I'd like to use view control if possible.
The viewPanelHelper code snippet from Sven Hasselbach adds the option to keep selections when paging.

Right now I am working on a Xpage which displays data from a domino document. Based on the form of the document different fields will be displayed.
Now I want to create a "New" function. My idea here is to set the view I am previously using in edit mode.
Additionally, I want to add a radio button which enables a user to choose the form of the document he wants to create.
Based on this radio button the document form should change which should result in the elements displayed on the page changing too.
Overall if I switch between the radio button options and hit save, a new document will be created with the right form.
Yet my problem is that my elements in my view won't change dynamically. So if I switch my form there will still be elements/controls displayed for the default option but not the selected form.
My idea was to create an onChange-event for my Radio Button Group.
My questions here would be: How can I change my formValue for the Xpage (new document) and then reload it with the new set value?
Thanks for your explanation.
I understand you have one XPage suitable for multiple forms, I assume using a Switch control and custom controls per form. About the New button, you could try first to have 3 New buttons, each for a separate form, and you create a URL like yoursite.com/xpage.xsp?action=newdocument&form=someform
When the user clicks the button, your page can read the parameters (param.action and param.form) and act accordingly. Or do you intend to update the current page using partial refresh, as a single page approach?
I know this is a common problem, and I tried a few solutions already, but the problem I have right now with my current code is that even though the attachments show in the computed for display field, I get the error "Note Item not Found" when I try to open them.
The form is built with two fields, in a programmable table that displays the editable one or the computed for display one.
The trick I found with Google's help was to delete the computed for display item in the queryopen event, so Notes regenerates the cfd item when opening the document. Visually, this works, as I see the text and attachments, but the attachments can't be opened.
Here is the code that removes the item in the QueryOpen of the form:
...
Set item = doc.GetFirstItem("dspDescription")
If Not item Is Nothing Then Call item.Remove()
...
Has anyone successfully achieved that functionality? Is there another way of doing this? I already tried with subforms, and because of the way the application is built, I need to be able to switch from editable to read only on the flick of a radio button, so subforms are out of the question as they can't be displayed dynamically.
Why don't you simple put the richtext item in a controlled access section and make that section editable / not editable with a computed for display formula. Select "always expand" and hide the section title, so that nobody can collapse it, et voila.
Regarding your comment: With this properties:
for this section in designer:
You get this result:
You see: No twisty, no "visible" section
I have an extension pages dialog box that I placed in a custom control. The dialog box is used to search for cost centers and return information such as market, cost center number, cost center name etc.
A "Select" button is pressed and the dialog box appears. The user searches for and selects their cost center. The OK button is pressed and it closes the dialog box and updates the various fields on the xPage.
A couple of questions.
Currently the "Select" button on the CC needs to know and refer to the name of the dialog box control within the CC. Seems to me that this is not the best practice. My end user programmer needs to know the ID of that dialog box control within the CC. Is there any way for my "Select" button could "show" the CC and the CC would actually show the dialog box control?
My CC makes use of custom properties to store the various document fields from the selected cost center. The OK button then uses these properties to set the various fields on the xPage. This again does not seem to be a best practice. If I wanted to use that CC in another application then I might need to edit the code in the OK button. Is there a better way to deal with this? Like I can set properties for a CC when I drop it on my xPage, is there a way I can tell it the code that I want to execute when the OK button is pressed?
One thing I thought was to have properties for the fields that need to be updated by the OK button but that does not seem to be so flexible.
For the issue of needing to know the id not sure if theres a typo but I don't understand why its bad that a select button inside a cc needs to no the id of the dialog to open it? did you mean the select is outside the cc? either way have you tried anything like creating a property on the custom control so that from outside it you can set something maybe
<xc:mycustomControl showDialog="false">
and then when something outside it happens change showDialog and refresh the cc, then inside the cc you can have a before / after page load to determine what happens when showDialog is true / false.
For your second issue it sounds to me like this should be using a domino document structure. Rather than the dialog pulling out each piece and the ok button updating, what I would do is have a domino doc data source on the page. when something is selected through the dialog I would update the document this source is pointing to and have all the fields bound to what ever fields they need to be. This way after something is selected the fields will just update to what ever the document contains, and it will be much more re useable so long as the domino docs have the same field names
Is there a way to get the selected pictures in a picture library with the object model in SharePoint? It seems there is not a selected flag with each picture item in the library.
SPPictureLibrary pictureLibrary = (SPPictureLibrary)web.Lists[""].Views["Selected"]
I would first ask when you want to select the pictures? There is a button on your library that triggers a postback? If yes, you can use javascript (or something smarter, jquery) to grab all selected IDs (the IDs should have to be visible in the view) or try to grab it by the request.form sent during the postback.
This is related to the page state, the ListItems would have carry such information (selected) because it happens differently for every user.
I've customized NewForm, EditForm and DispForm to allow users to create new, edit (with certain permission) and display service requests.
The forms work fine except in my views (e.g. Createbyme.aspx which shows all requests owned by me). Instead of pointing to my custom DispForm /[site]/Lists/[list_name]/DispForm_custom.aspx?ID=[request#], it links to /[site]/?ID=[request#].
Is there any suggestion for a fix?
I just answered this question in another post...
Restore NewForm.aspx file
To summarize,
Open the page and select the form control. Oen the propertis for that control and select the radio button "NEW ITEM FORM". After you save the page you can then select the page as a supporting file for the list and the setting will stick. Do not select the page as a supporting file first as the setting will not stick... ergo the order of your steps is important.
