Hi all.In Lotus Notes interface exist option to create toolbar then buttons on it.

So I how can I create it, ones and until I`ll delete it.

I`m new in Lotus programing, but I understand and can implement at C\C++ API and Java \ Lotus Script language.

I look all forums but don`t find answer at my question.

I look at Domino designer but can`t find the way. (help also not help me :frowning: ).

Is only way to do it by editing an bookmark.nsf outlines? at client or server side? (my modifications not disapiar?

I must create an agent for this or its doing only ones?

Thanks for any advice.

Thanks a lot. I saw it but, but only now look on it from designer ).

after looking code of Toolbar Library.nsf if I understand correctly.

I must edit bookmark.nsf file at server, is I`m right?

But other question.

When I edit local “bookmark” file, after some time it not update from server? or I must edit at server from beginning?

Each client has a local copy of the bookmarks application, which they can customize with their own toolbars. There is no replication of this with the server. Rolling such changes out to all users, is something you would have to discuss with the Notes server administrators. You could edit the design of bookmark.ntf on the server, but then you would have to get users to apply those changes to their existing setups. Or, you could email users a button they click to install the toolbar button.

Perhaps you could take a step back and explain what you’re trying to do? I.e. why do users need a new toolbar button? It’s possible there’s a better approach to the problem than using the toolbar.

Thank You for answer.

I`m creating some add-in for Lotus Notes.

And I think existing button of my application will be very nice. And it will help me to gets to open message data which I could not be done using C\C++ API.

Are You know why when I add (program way or from designer) new entry into “DesignerToolbar” or “UserToolbar” my new button not displaying and breaks old view of toolbar? But if I do same form mouse rite click->customize toolbars, adds same entry but all works fine? So if Im right I must add buttons? but I can`t find the way or any explanations.

Please help me if You can.

Thanks for that Andre. If you ever write anything on modifying the “special” bookmark entries or the desktop file, I hope you’ll post something here about it.
