Unable to use Expand and Collapse in an Embedded View

Hi,

I have a view which has the buttons Expand & collapse with the following formulas respectively:

@Command([ViewExpandAll])

@Command([ViewCollapseAll])

now this view is embedded in a form, and that form is being displayed in a frame set. if i open the frame set in client i can see the form with the embedded view but the buttons Expand and Collapse doesnt work.

can somebody tell me how to tackle this problem.

Thanks,

Pavani.

Subject: Summary of my research and latest use

Thanks to past posters who have provided the following solutions (nothing here is my original thought).

Embedded view/show single category view will always show all categories (below the category used to select which documents to display) as expanded when opened, regardless of the view settings. I found no way to “collapse all” upon open using any command or view event. Just have to live with this fact.

I have added this code to the view PostOpen event, if nothing else, but to make sure that the view shows the user the latest docs:

Sub Postopen(Source As Notesuiview)

Dim ws As New NotesUIWorkspace

Call ws.ViewRefresh

End Sub

I have these action buttons defined in the view (NOT in the containing Page or Form in your case):

Refresh View

@SetTargetFrame( “NotesView” );

@Command([OpenPage]; “MyInvoicesPage”)

Expand Category (my view has three levels of categories as well as response documents, so users need this as there is no standard tool that does this)

@Command([ViewExpandWithChildren])

Expand All

@Command([ViewExpandAll])

Collapse Category

@Command([ViewCollapse])

Collapse All

@Command([OpenView];“MyInvoicesPage”; @Name([Abbreviate]; @UserName));

@Command([ViewCollapseAll]);

@Command([ViewExpand]);

@Command([FileCloseWindow]);

@Command([ToolsRunMacro];“(f9)”)

(this one is from this forum, Sam Chung on 10/12/2005…THANKS!)

The (f9) macro uses this code:

REM {dummy agent used by embedded/single category view};

@Success;
