Selecting multiple documents with code

Is it possible ?The SelectDocument method in the NotesUIView class doesn’t seem to be able to do this. It only selects one document.

I tried to run a loop on this but only the last document in the loop got selected.

What I am trying to accomplish is the type of selection you can do manually by clicking in front of the documents you want to select.

There is no way to directly control the checkmarks in the selection margin of a view, except to deselect all (NotesUIView.deselectAll).

The only hack that I know of to achieve what you want, is to write write the noteID/UNID (or other unique key) of the documents that you wish to select, to an environment variable or profile document (multi-value), and then trigger a Formula agent, set to “Select documents in view” that reads the above document keys and performs an appropriate

_keys := ;

SELECT _keys = ;

This agent will select any documents where matches one of the entries of _keys.

Note that @NoteID and @Text(@DocumentUniqueID) has slightly different formats to their LotusScript counterparts notesDocument.noteID and notesDocument.universalID, so you have to reformat to compare.
