Pop from embedded view in Notes client

When users double-click a document in an embedded view in the Notes client I want it to display in a popup window rather than full screen. I have tried using @DialogBox in the QueryOpenDocument event but it doesn’t have any affect. This is a Notes client database, not web-based. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Charles

I always put the code in the queryopendocument event of the view, using the dialogbox method in lotusscript. Works great.

Thanks for the responses, but none of them were really helpful. I finally figured it out, using NotesUIWorkspace.Dialogbox. Here’s my code, I hope it helps someone else.

This code is from the view’s QueryOpenDocument event. I am using the CaretNoteID property so it will only work in Notes 6+ and it is not backwards compatible.

Sub Queryopendocument(Source As Notesuiview, Continue As Variant)

Dim nSession As NotesSession	

Dim nDB As NotesDatabase

Dim nDoc As NotesDocument

Dim nUIWS As NotesUIWorkspace

Dim sDocID As String



Set nSession = New NotesSession

Set nDB = nSession.CurrentDatabase



sDocID = Source.CaretNoteID

Set nDoc = nDB.GetDocumentByID(sDocID)

If Not nDoc Is Nothing Then

	Set nUIWS = New NotesUIWorkspace

	Call nUIWS.DialogBox("Comment", True, True, False, True, True, True, "Review Comments", nDoc,True, True, True)

End If



Continue = False

End Sub

Charles,

I used your code working perfectly.

Thanks

To make it backward compatible you can use source.documents in the same event to get a notesdocumentcollection, and open the first one.

For a hint on how to do this :

In R6 names.nsf open a server Configuration document from the Configuration->Configuration view.

On the Configurations settings document go to Route/SMTP → Restrictions And Controls ->Rules.

I think they have done the same thing that you are looking for. You can check the code of how they have done it

Have you tried tinkering with the “RegionDoubleClick” event in the view design itself? That should do it.
