| Set a dialog box to "always on-top" | Editor's Note (11/30/95): This example uses 16 bit Windows API calls and will not work in the 32 bit. For the same functionality in the 32 bit version of Word Pro, change the Declare statements to the appropriate 32 bit Window API call. Place the following declarations in the Globals, and the Dialogevent code in your dialog box object, and the dialog box will be set to be always on top, even when you switch to another application. Note: this will probably not work with dialog bars, since they are child windows of Word Pro, not top level windows like normal dialogs. Note2: This will be slighly easier (and more robust) when the GetHwnd method is implemented for CustomDialog. | LotusScript | Rlatulippe@romac.com | 04/19/2000 | | ||||

| Deleting Duplicate Documents from a Database | Problem: There are many instances when one needs to know whether there are duplicate documents in a database. Having a macro which could identify or even delete these duplicate docs would be great! Solution: By duplicate documents, we really mean documents with the same ID, where ID can be any unique identifier you choose; CallNumber, CustomerName, SocialSecurityNumber, etc... (this should not be confused with Replication Conflicts, which are multiple instances of the same document!) Given this definition, there are two principal cases we will consider: 1. Duplicate documents within a database 2. New versions of some documents are to be imported, and the user doesn't want to create a condition where there are duplicate docs. Therefore, they want to delete the old docs before importing their new counterparts. | Formula | Rlatulippe@romac.com | 04/19/2000 | | ||||
| Using the 'With' statement in JavaScript | The 'with' statement in JavaScript lets you preface an object and all of its properties and methods without a long object address, saving you time while you are coding.

| Something to watch out for with Str$ | This is documented, but I totally missed it, and I figure others might as well. In Ami Pro, we didn't really have to worry about data types; it was all handled internally for us. But with LotusScript, we sometimes need to do some conversions. An example is changing a number over to it's string representation. For this, you usually use Str$. But watch out! Str$ returns a leading space. So, Str$(1) actually returns " 1". Usually this won't matter, but in some cases it can come back to bite you. Here's some example code where Str$ doesn't work as expected because of the leading space... | LotusScript | Rlatulippe@romac.com | 04/19/2000 | | ||||

| Sum a List of Values | Concept Have you tried adding two list of numbers together? 1:1:1:1 + 1:1:1:1 = 2:2:2:2. Now lets split the resultant list and add the two list together. 2:2 + 2:2 = 4:4. Now do it again. 4 + 4 = 8. So if you start with the list 1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1 and use this process you would get your answer of 8. That's all there is to it. A little more to it. Obviously your list has to contain a number of elements equal to a power of 2. That's the first thing to fix. 1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1 1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1 1:1 1:1 1:1:1:1:1:1 1:1 1:1 + 1:1 2:2 Now concatenate the new list with the leftover list 2:2:1:1:1:1:1:1 Limits There is a self imposed limit of 8192 elements that can be added together. The formula can be extended to add together millions of elements but there must always be a limit. 8192 was chosen for two reasons. 1: A number takes 8 bytes in LN. A lookup can only return 64k. Only 8192 numbers will fit into 64k. 2: A field on a form has the same limit. I've found that the fact of being a list also takes some of that 64k space and further limit the number of elements.

| List-processing functions | The list-processing functions of the @formula language provide some of the strongest processing capabilities of any built in feature of Notes. Translating them to JavaScript is fairly straightforward. List in JavaScript are implemented as arrays, but you use them in almost the same way you do the @formula language. Perhaps the most obvious use of these functions on a Web page is in string parsing, but your imagination and necessity may suggest many more.

| Set Subtraction | Scenario: You have set A {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8} and you have set B {1,2,3}, and you need to know what members of set A are NOT in set B. Follow this tip: Application: Very often people need to fill out timesheets or some other form on a regular basis. It's very easy to see who has filled out the required form for the required date. Just build a view. But how do you show who hasn't filled out the required form for the required date. You can't do it in a view since there are no documents to show. The solution is to calculate the names and show them in a special document created just for this purpose. Using DBLookups you can create your SetA and SetB list. SetA is a list of all the people that have ever filled out the form. The assumption is that if a person has filled out a form in the past, they must still be filling out forms (actually you can put in code to account for terminated people). Set B is created by looking up the names of people that have filled out the form for the date in question. You have an editable field for the date in question. Just enter the date, press F9. You've got your list of delinquents. You can also have a button to mail memos to the unlucky winners, to prompt them to get the required documents in on time. | Formula | Rlatulippe@romac.com | 04/19/2000 | | ||||

| Document Numbers - Unique | There are times when, for some reason or another, you need a document to behave as a response but it can't be a response because it's a document in it's own right. When faced with this situation I usually create a serial number for the document with this formula. This formula creates a text value containing the users initials and the current time. It looks something like this: JB11-01-93 01:18:15 AM It's accurate to the second so the chances of two serial numbers being the same are very slim. Inheriting this field allow me to sort by serial number and group related documents together. I believe this has advantages over using @UniqueDocumentID. 1. @UniqueDocumentID is undocumented and cannot be depended on. 2. My serial number uses less memory than @UniqueDocumentID 3. My serial number is meaningful. @UniqueDocumentID is not. Using serial numbers allows you to do other things as well. For instance, the "response" documents can add to the serial number. Not only can you identify a common set of documents but you can calculate how many of a particular type of document exist within the set. | Formula | Rlatulippe@romac.com | 04/19/2000 | | ||||

| STRING TOKENIZING | STRING TOKENIZING. A very common programming problem is one where you have a string of characters, that you'd like to split into individual chunks (or tokens). Typically, white space (created by inserting spaces and tabs) is used to separate one token from the next. The Java language provides an easy way to solve this problem: the java.util.StringTokenizer class. You create a new instance of StringTokenizer, specifying a string to be tokenized. Then hasMoreTokens and nextToken are called repeatedly to obtain the next token from the string. | Java | Rlatulippe@romac.com | 04/19/2000 | | ||||

| Approve Workflow Button | This formula is a short illustration of a very powerful technique. Suppose you have several routing steps in a workflow application. Each step may have very similar fields and buttons, but of course Notes formulas do not have subroutines to generalize functionality. Here we get our specific stuff out of the way at the top, and have generic code the rest of the way. Thus when you change the way the formula works, you don't have to copy the code, and then go through the painstaking and error-prone process of adapting essentially the same formula to the different sections of code. This sample is based on the approach that there are a number of sets of fields, each essentially the same, where each fieldname ends in an ordinal number, 1, 2, 3, etc., corresponding to the position of the set. | Formula | Rlatulippe@romac.com | 04/19/2000 | | ||||

| 2. Add Button | This formula is the second of a series -- for a set of four buttons: SELECT, ADD, EDIT, and CLEAR. These are simple formulas but they allow you to have a multi-value field showing a list of names (or of any text items) which you can initialize by selecting, add to, edit, or clear. The second button, ADD, adds names to a field called ReaderList. For simplicity, we are using an R4 N&A picklist, but you could also use @DbLookup, or an @PickList view lookup. | Formula | Rlatulippe@romac.com | 04/19/2000 | | ||||

| Hide Navigator When Opening A View | Use this formula to open a view from a navigator hotspot or button when you want to hide the navigator pane in the view. For example, this formula tells Notes to open a view called Texas, then expand the all categories within the opened view, then hide the navigator that would typically be displayed on the left of the window. Use this type of formula when you either want to hide the navigator so that the user can't select options from it, or to provide more space on-screen for the view contents. | Formula | Rlatulippe@romac.com | 04/19/2000 | | ||||

| Showing different Subforms on the Web | Sometimes a document might be to big or to confusing to fill out as one document on the web. One way to break up this document is to create multiple subforms, and on the submit of the form change the subform and reload the page. This method will involve a computed subform, the webquerysave or $$ querysaveagent event, and a field called ChangeSubForm. The Agent will assume that is the ChangeSubForm field equals SubForm2 then the document is finished and it should be submitted. | LotusScript | Rlatulippe@romac.com | 04/19/2000 | | ||||
