Can I pick up data from an embedded editor?

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I am working with an application for the Notes ND6.5 client.

I have a form with an embedded editor in it. I want to read some fields from the document in the embedded editor, so that I can use them on the main form. Is this possible? I can’t find any LotusScript objects which give me a handle to the embedded editor and to the document that is displaying.

One can link an embedded editor to an embedded view, so some way must exist to refer to the embedded editor from the main form.

Any advice appreciated! Best wishes, Ian Jones

Is your embedded editer an OLE object? What do you mean by an embedded editor?

I already tried that. I could not find any guidance on my question.

I have the ND6.5 Gold release. Which one do you have? (Is there something in your help file, which is not in mine perhaps?)

It is a new feature of ND6. Basically it’s a way of embedding one Notes form inside another one. It is not an OLE feature
