How to get field value of a creating document (not saved)

Dear

I am quite new to Notes Client dev. Actually I have two questions:

  1. about Notes Client extension point:

Now I got a task to add a toolbar button into Notes Client when creating a new email, together with ‘send’, ‘cancel’ etc. But I dont know what extension point it is, can any expert help to point out? or where/how I can find it?

  1. As a handler of the button click event, I need to get the fields value of the creating email, like receviers, cc, subject, attachment, etc. In my understanding, this email has not been saved, so I can not get it from email database, then how I can get the values?

Thanks a lot! :slight_smile:

Subject: No thanks

Hi,

If I understand you correctly you are given a task to alter the buttons in a mail that is being created. If so that means altering the memo-form of the mail-application which usually is considered to be a bad idea partly because it is a standard application and changes will be lost in a upgrade.

If you however want to solve the task, think about other options such as another mail-form in a regular app and use the notesuidocument-handle to get the values you are interested in.

Good luck

Subject: use NotesUIDocument in 8.5.1

Palle, thanks for your information.

Yes, I solved it by using the new java ui api in Notes 8.5.1, which has the NotesUIDocument class. :slight_smile:
