Saving columns on Editable Views

I have created 2 columns in a view that are editable. I put script in the InViewEdit event that works for validating but does not do a SAVE. How do you save the values that were just edited? The code for saving is there but the RequestType never becomes a “save request”.

Judy,

This is exactly the topic I hope to write an article about next month for the Developer Network ! It’s a very interesting feature, but not exactly clear as a bell.

You have to write your own code to push the entered value (which you can capture) into the backend document. The inviewedit won’t do that for you. Inviewedit only gives you the UI to do the editing, it doesn’t actually push the values anywhere.

for example

Sub Inviewedit(Source As Notesuiview, Requesttype As Integer, Colprogname As Variant, Columnvalue As Variant, Continue As Variant)

Dim doc As NotesDocument

Dim caret As String



Const SAVE_REQUEST = 3



caret = Source.CaretNoteID

If caret = "0" Then Exit Sub



Select Case Requesttype		

Case SAVE_REQUEST								

	Set doc = CurrentDB.GetDocumentByID(caret)

	

	Call doc.ReplaceItemValue(Colprogname(0), Columnvalue(0))		

	Call doc.Save(True, True, True)		

	

End Select

End Sub
