Create Lotus Notes views on fly
Fri, Mar 30th 2012 1:11p Dmytro Pastovenskyi I'm wondering if somebody know how to use views that I created on fly, lets say we have document with embedded view which is not created yet. Before we open this document we create view (but simple triggering agent). However we can't use this view as embedded view on document till we reopen database. Anybody has any idea how we can avoid this problem? [read] Keywords: agent

How do you work with Java libraries in LDD?
Thu, Feb 2nd 2012 5:48a Dmytro Pastovenskyi Hi guys,
We have faced up (actually long time ago) with problem which is related to Java libraries. Back-end of our applications on Domino is written on Java fully. Each Java library has ofc own classes and packages. However LDD allows to work only 1 person with 1 library at same time and it is really painful for us as we have to wait till another developer finish his job. Does anybody know if there is a way (SVN?) which may resolve our problem?

1. Lazy solution $$ReturnGeneralError and MessageString

Solution for Lotus Domino to the trailing slash problem

element.onselectstart = function () { return false; }
element.onmousedown = function () { return false; }
2. Add attribute 'unselectable'
$(document.body).attr('unselectable', 'on')
3. Add style 'user-select: none'
