I'm maintaining an MFC app on Windows CE 6.
The app contains a customized property sheet containing 6 property pages. Every page is initialized in OnInitDialog (controls are populated) and contains 2 buttons.
The first property page (i.e. the one that is selected when the property sheet is displayed) is:
Never initialized.
Its buttons don't work.
The sheet handles several events, but no event ever occurs.
If I place the first property page second in the sheet (i.e. swap property pages A and B), then it's B who's not working and A works perfectly.
I've done some hours of trial and error now, and I've got no clue how to fix this. Anybody an idea?
Thanks

Its hard to diagnose without seeing the property sheet and property pages properties. Refer to this example and see if you are able to figure out the problem: Property Sheets and Property Pages.
Also refer to this MSDN article on property sheets and property pages. Before using any method, please check if the methods are available for WinCE 6.0.

The extension library offers means to structure your forms by Form Tables, where you can put Form Layout Columns and Form Layout Rows.
The Form Layout Rows have a property called "for" (the "For Indentifier") - here is the OnHover-text:
"Holds the ID of the control used to edit the data. That control should be contained within this Form Layout Row control."
So, I could enter the id of e.g. an Edit Box control I put into this form row (which translates to the code ' for="inputText1" '). But what exactly is this needed for? Where or for what can this information be used?
I found no different behaviour or limited functionality when sparing this information - at least, not how we use it atm. I found nothing in the web regarding this question; hope anyone can shed some light.
It's useful if your form row contains multiple controls, preventing the form row's code from determining its "for" target automatically. In that situation, you can provide the server-side ID of the "real" target control in the row to keep the label behavior working properly.
It's also mandatory to set this attribute if you want to use the built-in OneUI or Bootstrap themes to have the label formatted correctly. For example the text will be bold only if you set the for attribute (Bootstrap acts like this)
I'm trying to do some practices on a MDI application in Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 but it seems that I'm doing something wrong.
I made a new Windows Forms Application project and changed the IsMdiContainer property of the first form to True. Then I add a new form by right clicking the project in solution explorer and selecting Add - New Item - Windows Form.
I'm trying to set MdiParent property of form2 to the MDI Container form, but it seems that form2 has no MdiParent property.
Here's the properties of form2 sorted alphabetically.
Of course I can open form2 as a child form this way:
form2 newMDIChild = new form2();
newMDIChild.MdiParent = this;
newMDIChild.Show();
I just wondered why the forms has no MDIParent property.
According to this page the child forms have a MdiParent property.
Any kind of help is much appreciated.
You're doing it right, instantiating the new form and assigning MdiParent there. Really there IS such a property, and in your code you're using it:
newMDIChild.MdiParent = this;
This is perfectly fine and the normal way of doing it.
Now, what you're pointing is that the designer doesn't shows it, which is also true. That don't means that the property don't exist (it does, and you're using it in fact!). Why it isn't in the designer property sheet is another history, totally irrelevant, but I suppose that it has to do with the fact that it's difficult, if not impossible to properly set MdiParent at design time. If you think about it, it must contain an instance of another form (with it's IsMdiContainer set to true). At design time, you don't have any instances of anything, as they're created as your program runs. There is no way that you can set it beforehand, as you must normally pass another form to it, which you can't know while designing.
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:.
I have a problem that have me stumped.
I have been searching for a solution, but haven't found a working one yet. The solutions I seen introduces other issues.
Here is the scenario:
I have a frameset with two frames: 'Navigator' and 'Main'.
In the 'Navigator' frame I display a form called 'Navigator'. It contains an outline, to display a menu.
In the 'Main' frame I display the view selected by the user in the navigator.
So this is a very traditional Notes client application.
I now want to add a checkbox at the top of the view (in the action bar), allowing the user to filter the view by his/her own name. I use #SetViewInfo for this, and it all works perfect.
The issue is when the user switch views. The #SetViewInfo filter stays active when switching to a different view, so after some searching I found some solutions:
In http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21204481 IBM suggests to put the following code in the QuerySave event:
#SetViewInfo([SetViewFilter]; temp ; 0 ;1)
When I am switching view or closing the view, I get the error message "Cannot execute the specified command".
In http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/bpmpblog.nsf/dx/using-setviewinfo-in-a-notes-client-application-to-create-a-user-specific-view Andre Guirard suggests to put the following code in the QuerySave event:
#SetTargetFrame("frameName");
#UpdateFormulaContext;
#Command([OpenView]; #Subset(#ViewTitle; -1));
#SetViewInfo([SetViewFilter]; ""; "columnName"; 1)
I modify this to match my frame name and the programatic name of the first column in my view:
#SetTargetFrame("Main");
#UpdateFormulaContext;
#Command([OpenView]; #Subset(#ViewTitle; -1));
#SetViewInfo([SetViewFilter]; ""; "Adjuster"; 1)
This works perfectly when switching between view. But when I close the application while I am in this particular filtered view, the application is re-opened automatically. This happens no matter if the filter is enabled or not when closing the view.
However, when the view repopens, the frameset is not reloaded, it is just the view with the built-in view navigator to the left.
I finally got this to work by (in the built-in view navigator) selecting another view that the one where I filter data. This fixed the issue for a while, but then it starts again, and the filtered view is active in the navigator.
Obviously it is the OpenView command that is causing this, but if I remove just that line, I get the "Cannot execute the specified command" error again.
Any suggestions/pointers? I am using Notes 8.5.3 running on Windows 7 Professional.
This question can also be found in the IBM developerWorks forum for Notes 8.5:
http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/nd85forum.nsf/DateAllThreadedWeb/08c73910571306c485257b2b0061ef91
First thing, I would suggest to make sure your view frame is always called "NotesView". You will have much less compatibility issues if you do this.
Secondly, I presume when you say you put it in the QuerySave event you really mean the QueryClose event? Views do not have a QuerySave event.
Thirdly, I find the #UpdateFormulaContext line is not needed. This is what I have in my view QueryClose...
#SetTargetFrame("NotesView");
#Command([OpenView]; #Subset(#ViewTitle; -1));
#SetViewInfo([SetViewFilter]; ""; "<programmaticColumnName>"; 1)
And I can close the app while in the view without any problems.
I am building a mobile app for iPhone using the mobile controls in the XPages Extension Library.
The first page displays a list of categories (happens to be a list of user names). When a category is selected the second page is displayed listing all documents belonging to the selected user.
The URL to open the second page includes a parameter with the user's name. The second page has a page heading control and on the "label" property I have added the following code:-
if (param.get("User") != null) {
sessionScope.put("UserName", param.get("User"));
}
return sessionScope.UserName;
I'm doing this so that I have access to the user name on subsequent pages, e.g. the third page is displayed when the user opens a document from the list on the second page.
When I test this in Chrome everything is fine. When I test in Safari I can see that the sessionScope variable is set when the second page is opened. However, when I select a document and the third page is opened the sessionScope variable is disappearing. I can't see any code that would explain this and when tested in Chrome the sessionScope variable is still there on page 3. Unsurprisingly I get the same issue when I test on an iPhone.
The problem this gives me is that, when navigating back from a document (p.3) to the list of documents for the selected user (p.2) I don't know which user was selected originally.
Anyone seen this before or have any explanation as to what might be going on?
Thanks for any suggestions.
you might want to refrain from the parameter approach unless you are sanetizing your input first, so instead of the URL write the userName directly into the scope - or even easier - bind the first field with the categories to the sessionScope. Did u try to modify your code to use a different variable name?
