I'm trying to understand how to design this using Tabris.
My current design updates the tableview by setting a new list:
viewer.setInput(list);
This is not what I want as this refreshes always the entire table with a nasty refresh view behavior.
What I want is just to apply a single change to the table, so remove a tree item, change or insert. Just spend some time to get viewer.insert(...), remove(...) working.
The TreePath required for this call is what confuses me. Tried to create one I'm pretty sure it is not correct.
Does anyone has a good example or any other suggestions to get me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Vincent
I recommend looking at the TreeViewer.replace method. With this method you can change a single item.

Is there a field that exposes WHEN a work item is assigned to its current iteration?
Seems like a pretty basic thing one might like to know, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Can someone point me in the right direction?
There is No field that exposes when a work item is assigned to its iteration.
If you want to see this value, you can go to the page of the work item.
And then click "History". What you need to find is the record of the latest iteration update.
Of course, you can also get this value through the REST API:
GET https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/wit/workItems/{id}/updates
But just like getting it by website, you need to spend some time looking for this value, and you can't apply it to queries.
If you really need a field that exposes when a work item is assigned to its iteration. You can create a new process that inherits from your current process and change the process of your project. Click this document for detailed steps.
And then, add a new field to show the latest updates of iteration. Click this document for detailed steps.
This way you can treat the iteration change time as a real field. However, the defect is that when you make changes to an iteration, you need to manually change the value of this field.
I'm working on modifying some vba code, mostly adding a new feature to lock some of the form. So I was trying to use the DataLabel property for the items. And is looks to be a dead end.
But I hope its possible to group them and perform a group action in the form of enable/disable.
Any ideas on how? pretty open to any idea or solution simpler than disabling one at a time.
I want to know if I can click a button in my XPage and dynamically create a Domino View and then show it in a panel control on the same page. The reason I want to do this is because I have a categorized view and I don't want to lose category data by using full text search. So I am thinking of creating a new view dynamically and pass my search parameters, like end date or start date, into the view selection formula.
Is it possible? Any other alternative solution is also welcome.
yes you can, but you don't want to. A Domino view takes space in the database and quite some time for its first use. So you end up with a lot of views taking space and the need to adjust database space after removal. Your response times will suck big time.
Categories as shown in Notes views are no web interaction pattern, so you might want to solve a problem that actually shouldn't exist.
The preferred method for Domino application is navigation / drill down over search. But you could do a FTSearch where you add your category to the search parameters and render your results in a repeat control instead of a view control. There you have more control over the look and feel.
Whether or not it's the best solution, the answer to the immediate question about creating a view on the fly is yes: the Database class has a couple "createView" methods to allow you to create a new view, either entirely from scratch or based on a named other view. From there, you can use the "setSelectionFormula" and "createColumn" methods in the created View to build what you want. You can't do EVERYTHING with those methods, but it may be enough.
One problem you'd likely run into is ACL access: you'll need Designer rights to the database, which a normal user most likely wouldn't have. If you use the sessionAsSigner object to fetch a signer version of the DB (say, "var signerDB = sessionAsSigner.getDatabase(database.getServer(), database.getFilePath())"), you can work from there. Off the top of my head, I don't remember if you will also have to up the "Maximum Internet access" setting on the last tab of the ACL to Designer as well, but you may.
I am assuming that you are referring to the problem that exists when you choose the documents based on the category. This is something that I find highly annoying and I wish that it was possible to turn this on and off. It makes sense for embedded views, but not for much else.
What I did to solve this was to include the category value in the next column. In this way that text could still be seen, even if it was a flat view.
Alternatively, you could also look into using a repeater control and create your own way of presenting the information. This would be used instead of a (Dynamic)ViewPanel control. You could then present the information any way you wanted as long as it is returned in the viewrow set.
Happy Programming!
I have a fairly straightforward and common use case. A panel, in which resides a repeat control. The repeat control gets its content from a view lookup by key. Below that repeat control is another panel. This panel has a data binding to a new notesdocument. The panel has a couple of fields on it for the new document and a submit button.
It all works, however after submit (presumably in the "postSaveDocument()" event) I want to call back up to the repeat control and have it re-perform its lookup and refresh its content.
I'm looking to understand syntactically, how I can reference the repeat control and its properties and methods from elsewhere on the document -- and secondarily (though I can look this up once I get the first part figured out) what the refresh() method would be for that that repeat control.
Ideally, I think its something like: xp:page.repeatcontrolname.refresh() -- though I know that isn't right.
I'm sure once I see an example, it will apply to a myriad of other things.
Update :
I discovered that the repeated elements were actually refreshing but I wasn't seeing a new entry added to the list. The reason, ultimately, turned out to be that to add another entry to the repeat list I needed a new "control" -- but I'd checked that box (on the repeat control) that said "Create Controls at Page Creation". It was preventing my XPage from creating another entry for the new document to display!
This article explains the syntax for doing what you describe:

I have a feeling that this one captures the actual use case.

The key setting that people tend to miss is "ignoreRequestParams".
Andrew,
The 'XSP.PartialRefreshGet' call was broken in Domino release 8.5.3 which results in the '_c9 is undefined' error.
Have a look at the article posted by Tommy Valand:
http://dontpanic82.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/patch-for-bug-in-xsppartialrefreshget.html
Basically to work around the problem a second argument is required to be passed to the call, for example:
XSP.partialRefreshGet("#{id:ExistingDevicesList}", "")
Quick question. I want to generate code with SPMetal that includes the UniqueId field (the field that has the GUID for the list item), but somehow in Visual Studio I end up with either:
A list without that field
A list that in theory has that field (UniqueIdUniqueId.. why is it named that way?), but when I try to run it, throws me a NullException.
I'm using Sharepoint 2010, VS 2010.
Can you point me in the right direction? I'm stalled right now. I would paste you the XML file I've been using as parameters to SPMetal, but my servers are down right now. I'll post it ASAP, but if anyone has the answer on how to generate a class that includes that particular field, I'd be thankful.
Thanks!
The solution was: use the "GUID" hidden field. Duh.
I think is no way to include 'UniqueId', because is not a part of any content type.
If this realy need to get 'UniqueId', try write SQuery, which get item by ID with one viewField (to maximize performance).
