NotesRichTextTable: Tabbed interface question

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I’ve been working with NotesRichTextTable sucessfully for a while now, but I have a new requirement that I am not sure how to implement. I would like to make a table, using NotesRichTextTable, but the table must have tabs and (important) the tabs must be on the left side of the table, not on the top. I can do it, obviously, when editing rich text, but don’t know if I can do this programatically.

Any help would be appreciated

If there’s not a property documented for it, there’s not a way to do it using just LotusScript.

I imagine you could create the DXL for it and import that.

You could program it in C or C++ with the Notes C API.

Otherwise, as Ben Langhinrichs will probably confirm, chances are you can do it with the Midas rich text LSX from Geniisoft.

You can indeed do this with our Midas Rich Text LSX. The code would be something like the following:

Call rtitem.ConnectBackend(doc.Handle, “Body”)

Call rtitem.Everything.AppendTable(1, 1,"TabSide=Left TabFont=‘Blue 8pt’ ", |Text=“Contents of first tab” TabLabel=“First”|)

Set rtTable = rtitem.DefineChunk(“Table 1”)

Call rtTable.AppendRow(False, 1, |Text=“Contents of second tab” TabLabel=“Second”|)

Call rtTable.AppendRow(False, 1, |Text=“Contents of third tab” TabLabel=“Third”|)

and the result look like this (saved image, as left tabs don’t render well on web):
