Expand first two categories?

This has been on the wishlist for a long time now and I am hoping someone has found a way to accomplish it in 8.x …

I have a view with three categorized columns. I would like the view to open with the first two expanded, but _not_the_third_column.

It is for a Notes client.

I have been scanning the methods available for NotesUIView and see nothing. Has anyone found a way to programmatically expand only certain columns?

Thanks in advance,

Marc
