Is there a clear method to remove all items for a collection object in vba? Like
colObj.clear
because having to loop through entire thing to clear all is ;_;
Alternatively, is there a last item method like colObj.lastitem or do I have to colObj.count to get last item then something like colObj.item(colObj.count-1) to get second to last item?
My search suggests there is no such methods I seek but then again name is no longer documented but it still works. And yes, I already tried .clear XD
Or if anyone knows a better way to close certain open workbooks please offer suggestions.
Edit: perhaps during the for each i in colObj loop of whatever actions I need to take, I can put colObj.remove i at the very end? Essentially deleting items as I go?
There is no Clear method, but to clear the collection you can do this:
Set colObj = New Collection

I feel like I'm just not understanding something about the XPages lifecycle here. I have an xp:text control, with a value of viewScope.count. Initially, that's null. After the xp:text, I have a repeat that's performing a calculation and returning an array of objects for its value. At the end of the repeat's value section, I'm trying to update the xp:text with a count of the things in the array:
viewScope.count = myArray.length;
The xp:text isn't being updated with that value, though. Should this work? Do I need to do a manual refresh of the xp:text when I modify viewScope.count? TIA!
You should be able to use the index of the repeat to give you a count.
Take a step back and rethink the approach. Inside the code you use for your repeat you update something outside.
Not looking at 'does it work' I would claim 'bad idea'. Such side effects make maintenance a nightmare (and are not very MVC).
The better approach (IMHO):
Create an object data source. AFAIK that can be a JSON object if you are not comfortable with Java. That object would have all the needed properties for your repeat and your counter display. It serves as your model.
Then bind the repeat and the text field to the model and you are good.
Makes sense?
I have a view defined on an xpage. I also have several filters (based on the columns) that the user can select and combine to filter the results in the view. I generate a query string based on this that I construct in dominoView.search (doing a complete refresh). What I would like to do is get the results of the search so that I can then update some counts displayed elsewhere on the page. I'm having a hard time figuring out where I can perform this logic, though. I'm trying to use view.getAllEntries() and then iterating over the collection. Sometimes it seems like it works, but other times I seem to be getting the unfiltered view. Someone suggested I explicitly call view.FTSearch inside one of the events (beforePageLoad?) and immediately after do my getAllEntries call, saving the results in viewScope, but I get an "Error while browses Notes view" runtime error when I try to do that. Any pointers? TIA!
EDIT: After studying the xpages lifecycle a bit (which is still a little confusing), I think I can fine-tune my question. This is my first stackoverflow question, so I hope this is okay to do and productive....
As I described, I have a dominoView defined on my xpage. A repeat iterates over the rows of the view, displaying certain fields from the documents. If I define a query in the search property, then the repeat correctly displays the reduced set of documents rather than the complete set. (The query is computed in the search property via SSJS from some variables defined in the viewScope in a combobox's eventHandler.) However, if I try to access the current entries in the view inside of the repeat's rendered section (with SSJS) using myView.getAllEntries (where myView is what's defined as the "value" of the repeat), I am still getting all of the documents, even if a query has been done. It seems like at that point, the view variable has already had its search applied (since the repeat works), so why the differing results? Is there another way to access the view's rows? To complicate this further, this is just a simple experiment that might clarify the problem; as I indicated earlier, I don't actually want to access the view data within the repeat, I want to access it in the rendered or value sections of some comboboxes defined before the repeat in the xpage file.
I hope that makes more sense now....
EDIT #2: I forgot to add that if I manually call FTSearch (or FTSearchSorted) before calling myView.getAllEntries, then I think I can make this work. It just seems unnecessary to have to do that in addition to the view's built-in search.
From what I get you want to iterate over the entries in a view that before has been filtered, i.e. whose resulting entry collection is smaller than the the view itself.
What I don't get (yet) is what you want to do with the result, or what you're axpecting to get from the iteration over your filtered view (you're mentioning some counts to be displayed somewhere else).
Probably a good way is to use the view's .getAllEntriesByKey method which returns a NotesViewEntryCollection object which then can be used for your iteration.
Don't forget to recycle the resulting NotesViewEntry objects; reason for this has been explained several times here at stackoverflow.
Using Firebug I found that the iNotes List View object has a function called "getSelectedData()" delivering something like an array of selected view entries (each one consisting of the item specific row data, like the "ext" element described here by Paul Withers). Thus, using one of List View's internal events (like "onContextMenu"), I can retrive selected data and put them somewhere else. Which is just great!
But, as I'm never content with what I have, now I'm looking for a way to address the List View's object from the outside (e.g. using a button) to access a selected data collection in a similar or even the same way. But no matter what I try, I can't seem to get to the proper object from outside of the List View itself. Using
dojo.byId("#{id:listView1}")
is giving me an object but without any of those specific methods that I need. Neither Google, nor openNtf or the ExtLib book itself has any info on that.
Any hint?
Greets,

I guess I solved it. I've been close yesterday, but using dojo.byId instead of dijit.byId prevented it from working:
var grid = dijit.byId("#{id:listView1}");
var sel = grid.getSelectedData();
Result is a named array of row data where each row entry contains all the relevant view entry data for that row.
Works like a charm!

first of all I'm totally new to FAST but I already have a couple of issues I need to solve, so I'm sorry if my questions are very basic =)
Well, the problem is that I have a field in the FAST index which in the source document is something like "ABC 12345" (please note the intentional whitespaces) but when stored in the index is in the form "ABC 123456" (please note that now there is a single space).
If I retrieve all the document values then this specific value is OK (with all the whitespaces), my only problem is with the way the value is stored in the index since I need to retrieve and display it to my user just like it appears in the original document, and I don't want to go to the full document just for this value, I want the value that I already have in the index. I think I need to update one of the FAST XML configuration files but I don't have enough documentation at hand in order to decide where to perform the change, index_profile.xml? in the XMLMapper file?
I've found the answer by myself. I'm using a XMLMapper for my collection, all I had to do was to add the ignore-whitespace attribute to the Mapping element and then set this attribute value to "false". This solved the problem and the raw data now when retrieved from the index contains the expected inner whitespaces.
Thanks.
I am doing a workflow for a document library. I put a OnWorkflowItemChanged, and I want to get the value of the column which is changed. I use the workflowProperties.Item["name"] and use the afterProperties. But when I use the workflowProperties.Item["column name"], I still got the original value. When I use the afterProperties, it's NULL.
Then I make another workflow that is the same as above for a list. I can use the workflowProperties.Item["column name"] to get the new value in OnWorkflowItemChanged.
Has anyone come across this problem before? Can you give me some help?
The question seems to mix up Item with ExtendedProperties. As to why a difference is seen on a List/Document Lib, it might have something to do with versionining or perhaps the internal serialization is different. Anyway, some of my experience is outline below. I hope it may be of use:
Use the GUID (as a Guid object, not a string) to access the Before / After ExtendedProperties field. Using the Display Name in the ExtendedProperties will not work. The documentation on it is wrong. You can use SPList.Fields to go from Display Name to Column ID (Guid).
I bind all "Before" to MyWhatever_PreviousProperties and all "After" to MyWhatever_Properties, only accessing MyWhatever_[Previous]Properties after the appropriate event(s)).
