I use the following code to make sure I go back to a particular view when closing a document and select the newly created document:
Dim ws As New NotesUIWorkspace
Dim uidb As NotesUIDatabase
Set uidb = ws.CurrentDatabase
Call uidb.OpenView("vwMyView", , False)
ws.CurrentView.SelectDocument(Source.Document)
If the view is already open then this code will go to the view defined above and select the document. Accordingly if the view is not open, it will open the view and select our document. This is useful when a new document is created and the view index has not yet been updated.
This code works great, but how do I get this code to work, if I have the view as a part of a frame-set which is also set to be the home-page (home tab).
Edited:
Just to explain the issue further, I have a frameset which links to multiple databases, when a user clicks on the outline control to open a link, it opens a view within the frameset. Then when a new document (which belongs to another database compared to where the outline is) is created from this view, we open a new window outside of this frameset. On closing this document, I want to go back to the frameset (which is now in another database compared to this document) and refresh the view to select current newly document in view. This frameset is the Home page in my case.
Check whether SetTargetFrame can do something for you:
Call notesUIWorkspace.SetTargetFrame( frame$ )
Is the view set to auto frame into the frame set?

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?
From a dynamic view controller, click link to EDIT a document, when I submit it creates a NEW document, not simply updating the one I clicked. What setting could I have set wrong? The URL even says "editdocument" when editing the view.
Verify your data source properties on the XPage used when opening/editing the document.
I'm new to Domino Designer. I'm trying to modify an existing application which is running on a remote server. I create a blank xPage and view in browser and it works. I add a label and view in browser and it works. I add a combo box and setup a data source for my xPage. The data source is in the current application and I'm using a view. I setup my combo to point to that data source and specify BindTo value. I view it in browser and I get Error 500 "HTTP Web Server: Command Not Handled Exception" I can open the view that I've used and see all the data in the view. I can even add, edit, and delete from the view.
Ideas... Thnxs in advance.
Additional Info. I've added a "View" from "Container Controls" and used the same data source and the same view and it also works in the browser.
The error being printed is:
javax.faces.el.PropertyNotFoundException: Error getting property 'CompanyName' from bean of type lotus.domino.local.View

This was already answered in the comments, but I want to write a better answer.
The problem in this case is that a view data source is being used for editing a document. Directly, this is not a possibility, though there are a few great ways to get around this. The first way, and my favorite, is to use an inline form. I think the Extension Library Demo database offers a few great examples of how to go about doing this. One way is to use a tooltip dialog. Another way is an inline form. A repeater is used and for every row in the view, a hidden panel can be made which contains the document data source and all field which are required to be changeable. By clicking on a button or link, the panel is made visible. This is my favorite variant because it is simple, quick, and generally looks great.
Another way to go about this is to have a view data source only, but use scripts to retrieve the document and set the values in the background and then save and release. It all depends on what you are trying to achieve.
My main recommendation is to look at the ExtLib demo and take a look at what they are doing there.
I have an Xpages application that pulls data from another .nsf file. I have a view panel linked to a view in that db. The view has documents with several different forms in it. I want to be able to open each document in it's own form(xpage).
How do I write a computed At Runtime, open selected document using: statement that will select the correct Xpage to present the document.
If you use the Data View component instead of a View Panel, you can compute the pageName attribute, referencing the var attribute to return a different value for each row based on the document that row represents. The flexibility of the Data View component also makes it easier to make your app look more like a modern web application and less like an Excel spreadsheet. As an additional bonus, the mobile theme invokes a renderer that makes each Data View instance look like a native mobile list, so using Data Views instead of View Panels simplifies mobile development.
You have 2 options:
use "use xpage associated with form" and edit the form's property
use a SSJS formula to compute the Form. You provide a variable name in the view control var to access a view row as XSPViewEntry. If the Form is in a view column even one you don't display you use .getColumnValue otherwise getDocument.getItemValueString
Does that work for you?
Maybe this mothed can help you: Unable to get document page name for
Hope this helps

I had a similar problem today. I use only one form but 3 different xpages for associated with this form. I have 3 different document types in the view. I used rowData the get the type of the document.
try{
var v=rowData.getColumnValue("form");
if(v.indexOf("x")> -1){var page ="x.xsp"}
else if(v.indexOf("y") > -1){var page = "y.xsp"}
else{var page = "z.xsp"}
}catch(e){
var page = "x.xsp"
}
So to your view you can create a column with the value of the form and you can use it.
I have used the extension library Dynamic View control which has an event you can code to get a handle to the NotesViewEntry which was selected. See the demo database page Domino_DynamicView.xsp and the Custom Event Handler tab for an example.
Note, in 8.5.3 (I have not upgraded yet) if you add or edit the eventHandler for onColumnClick it will be added to the XPages source as an xe:eventHandler. It needs to be an xp:eventHandler to work. The way to do it is to copy the code in the source from the exiting event and delete it. Recreate the event and update the code. Then go back into the source and change the tags within the eventHandler to xp:.
This is a rather strange one I think, and I'm sure I made a mistake here myself:
in one of my applications I'm showing a fileDownload control bound to a Richtext field in my underlying NotesDocument. The control's properties a are set to Hide if no attachments, show size, type and created as well as allow delete. The control itself sits inside a custom control, being part of another custom control, similar to this:
Xpage.xsp
- ccContainer
- - ccInnerDoc
Document datasources for both the container and the "inner" doc are defined at the root of ccContainer and passed into the inner doc.
The inner doc's datasource is comnputed based on a document selection, and it's igenoreRequestParams property is set to false so that I can display the contents of the selected datasource in a given panel etc.
The selected doc is first opened in read mode, and I can set it to edit mode using a button.
Problem now is that my file download control always is showing the delete icon (trashcan) no matter which mode the doc is opened in. And it's not only the icon showing, it also pretends to work by asking me whether I really want to delete and then really removes the file attachment. Only that this change of course cannot be stored into the datasource because it's only open in read mode.
I'm sure that this behaviour is some side-effect of something else in my application (to a certain extent I rebuilt this in a plain new db and until now cannot reproduce it), but I'm at the end of my knowledge of what this could be.
Any hint of what could be causing this is more than welcome.
In place of #Frantisek Kossuth I answer this myself: see compute dynamically the allowDelete property of file download xpages
Thanks again, Frantisek!
