How do I launch a dialogbox from an action hotspot inside a frame?

I have an action hotspot located inside a page which is also embedded in a frame called “Left” and the default target for the frame is “Right” (the other frame in the frameset. The action command is as follows:

@SetTargetFrame(“Right”);

@Command([EditProfile]; “(Database Configuration)”)

Is there a way that the profile document can be opened in a dialogbox instead of the typical layout which is the whole window?

Thanks,

Dan

Set up your hotspot using LotusScript instead of formula. @DialogBox doesn’t allow you to specify a document other than the currently-selected document in a view, but NotesUIWorkspace.DialogBox does.

Sub Click(Source As Button)

On Error Goto errhand



Dim w As New notesuiworkspace

Dim s As New notessession

Dim db As notesdatabase

Dim doc As notesdocument



Set db = s.currentdatabase

Set doc = db.getprofiledocument("(Database Configuration)")



Call w.DialogBox( "(Database Configuration)" , true , true ,true , true , false , false , "Edit Configuration" , doc , true , false , false )



Exit Sub

errhand:

Msgbox "Error at line " & Erl & ": " & Error

Exit Sub

End Sub
