Code Name* Via LotusScript, Insert a Computed Subform Based on Preview Pane Status?	Date* 12/19/2025	Source (or email address if you prefer)* [email protected] IP address:.172.69.59.24
Description* It is not possible to accomplish this completely in LotusScript, since LotusScript does not manipulate subforms. You must use of a formula in a computed subfield in addition to a LotusScript in the QueryOpen event of the form.	Type* LotusScript	Categories* (Misc)

Implementation:	Required Client:	Server:
Limitations:	Comments:

Files/Graphics attachments (if applicable): Code:

A hidden text field must be added to the form. For this example, the fieldname "preview" will be used.

Use the QueryOpen event to set the value of the field ("preview", in this example):

Sub Queryopen(Source As Notesuidocument, Mode As Integer, Isnewdoc As Variant, _

Continue As Variant)

Dim doc As notesDocument

If Not Isnewdoc Then Set doc = source.document If source.inPreviewPane Then doc.preview = "yes" Else doc.preview = "no" End If End If

End Sub

This hidden field "preview" must be assigned a default value of either "yes" or "no" depending on which subform you want to display when composing a document. For example, if you want "subform2" to display when composing a document, the default value for the "preview" field would be "yes". If you want "subform1" to display, a default value of "no" would be used.

The formula in the computed subform is as follows:

@If(preview = "yes";"subform2";"subform1")

When a document is double-clicked in the view:

without the preview pane open, the hidden preview field is set to "no" and the computed subform shows "subform1".

with the preview pane open, the hidden preview field is set to "yes" and the computed subform shows "subform2".
