There seems to be a problem with parameter passing between frames in the Notes client.Here is a situation:
Frameset contains 2 frames, divided horizontally:
Frame A is on top
Frame B is on the bottom of the screen.
In Notes 6, I can program a button with a @setTargetFrame in order to open a page or a predefine, static named element into frame B.
However, what I want is to be able to get a field value from the frame B and set it into a field inside the document opened in the frame A (or vice versa).
After several hours of research, I had come to the conclusion that no mechanism existed in Lotus Domino 6 to do this.
I can have an embedded view in frame A and program the single or double click to open the selected document into frame B, but I cannot put a value into a field of the document opened in frame B.
This would have been really useful - for instance, in order to open a document contaning a embedded single category view on frame B, and make sure that view only displays a category related to what is opened on frame A!
Right now, the only way I found to pass parameter after an Open statement, is to use an @UpdateFormulaContext.
However, even this method fails when the document is not opened in its own window, but rather into a frame.
Did I miss something?
On the web you can at least pass parameters back and forth between frames by using ¶meters inside the URL.
On the Lotus client, there are no URL, so even this method is useless.
Is there any other way to handle parameter passing between frames in the Notes client?
