Lotus Notes 8.01 inside

Just open this jpg. file. You will see funny code inside Lotus Notes 8.01.

Response document and field $RefOptions

Mostly if you would like to create new response document, we use method NotesDocument.MakeResponse. But if a document use "Document type" (I mean type which we set in Form properties), then after "UI" saving it will be not responsible document anymore.
But it is possible to fix it, all what we have to do is to set in field $RefOptions value "1"

NotesDocument.ReplaceItemValue("$RefOptions", "1")

how to choose folder using lotus script + api

Sometimes we need to choose a folder during our process of development, but special function for this I did not found. Very often we need to choose only folder (for example for saving attaches from documents)

To solve this task we can use Win API 's methods. Here you will see an example of it.

Const BIF_DONTGOBELOWDOMAIN = 2
Const MAX_PATH = 260

Dim lpIDList As Long
Dim sBuffer As String * 255
Dim sReturnVal As String
Dim szTitle As String
Dim tBrowseInfo As BrowseInfo

sBuffer = String ( Len ( sBuffer ) , Chr(0) )
szTitle = dialogPrompt
tBrowseInfo.hWndOwner = FindWindow ( "notes", &H0 )
tBrowseInfo.lpszTitle = szTitle
tBrowseInfo.ulFlags = BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS + BIF_DONTGOBELOWDOMAIN
lpIDList = SHBrowseForFolder ( tBrowseInfo )

If ( lpIDList ) Then
SHGetPathFromIDList lpIDList, sBuffer
ChooseFolder = Left ( sBuffer, Instr ( sBuffer, Chr(0) ) - 1)
End If

End Function


Here is the code on button
Sub Click(Source As Button)
Dim w As New NotesUIWorkspace
Dim doc As NotesDocument
Dim folder As String

Set doc = w.CurrentDocument.Document

folder = ChooseFolder("Select directory")

If folder<>"" Then
Call doc.ReplaceItemValue("FolderPath", folder)
Call w.CurrentDocument.Refresh
End If

End Sub
