I was having the worst time trying to get @SetViewInfo to work. I even copied the example straight from the Notes help document (and the Notes and Domino 6 Programming Bible) but couldn’t get it to work.
No documents would show up in the view.
I figured out that you need to uncheck “Collapse All when database is opened” for that view. Then it worked perfectly.
Subject: Tip for @SetViewInfo
Here’s how I avoid the problem:
@Command([ViewExpandAll]);
list := “”:@DbColumn(“”; @DbName; @ViewTitle; 1);
choice := @Prompt([OkCancelList]; “View by Person”; “Select the person you want to see”; “”; list);
@SetViewInfo([SetViewFilter];choice;“RequesterName”; 1);
@Command([ViewCollapseAll])
Subject: *Thanks! That does explain why a couple of my views worked and not the others.
Subject: Thanks - that helped me with an embedded view problem
I was getting the error “cannot execute the specified command” when switching between embedded views on a form, and couldn’t figure out why. Then I saw your post, and checked, and the underlying views were using the “Collapse all when database is opened” option. They were also using @Command([ViewCollapseAll]) in the PostOpen event. Removing those did the trick.
