Toolbar button "Go up for parent view"

Hi

Several days ago my friend, who is also a Lotus Notes developer asked me a question about one task he was worked on: it was required to provide users with functionality to find open in UI document in a view.

His company users complained that they received some automatic notifications with Notes-links inside but they needed to see those documents in the Notes views also and it took time to open documents by Notes-links, then copy to clipboard information from specific fields and then run search in a view to find them there.

My friend told me that he developed an agent, that he incorporated into each important application on Domino server and it was possible to run it from opened in UI document to get focused on the same document in the Notes View.

He was very frustrated when I told him that there is a native toolbar button for this purpose :-)
So I share this knowledge with you, probably it will prevent you from developing something similar

FTSearch "show results" field - cool thing

You could notice that FTSearch results can be displayed in different ways.
Sometimes with relevance line on the left, sometimes with document selection, sometimes without it.

Magic of "Present mail send dialog" form property

Hello guys

Today I have got a question from my manager: why SendTo/CopyTo/... fields in a standard Lotus Notes mail are capable to resolve all names whatever and whenever you type them in but our own SendTo/CopyTo/... fields work not exactly the same. What is the difference?

Really, what is the difference?

If you create a new Memo and type your shortname or your internet address or any other alias that is associated with you in a Domino Directory into SendTo field

and then press F9 all these names will be transformed to your Notes Name in abbreviated form (sometimes with @DominoDomain part in the end, sometimes without). Notice, the same names are unified to a single value.

However if you create a blank Notes Form and add there your SendTo field with the same properties enabled as Memo 'SendTo' field has...

Do you know that unsaved design elements have asterisk in the beginning of their names in Domino Designer on top?

Java console in Domino Designer does not display non-ASCII characters

Hello

I work on task about zipping of files with non-ASCII characters in their names.
During this work I discovered that Java console in Domino Designer does not display non-ASCII characters. I do not know if it is an issue or it is by design but anyway it is quite annoying and does not help me to debug solution based on LS2J.

If you want to reproduce it yourself please check my steps first.

Database Script in Eclipse based IDE

Hi guys

Though "Database Script" is a familiar design element for all of us, sometimes it is a quite tricky thing to work with it.

The main issue with Database Script I met is that sometimes Database Script does not "see" the changes made in Domino Designer until you close Domino Designer. If you now how to fix that, please let me know.

Another strange thing we got with new IDE is that it is not obvious if "Database script" design element is created or not created.
