Library DesignUtils

Methods Detail

• Macroquote

  Public Function Macroquote(x As String) As String
  Convert string to macro code quoted string; change all " to \" and add quotes at start and end.
  idx	Argument	Data Type	Attributes	Comments
  1	x	String	ByVal	String to be converted.

• SetSelection

  Public Sub SetSelection(ncol As NotesNoteCollection, strDesignType As String)
  Given the name of a design element type, e.g. "Form", and a note collection, sets the note collection to select design elements of that type. Note: detecting certain design elements requires testing $Flags. This means it doesn't always work to call SetSelection twice with the same collection but different design element names. For instance, if you say you want forms and file resources, you will find no forms because their $Flag items never contain the character 'g'. Instead do two searches and combine results.
  idx	Argument	Data Type	Attributes	Comments
  1	ncol	NotesNoteCollection		the collection to set selection for.
  2	strDesignType	String	ByVal	the design element type, e.g. "form", "image".

• SetSelectionExt

  Public Sub SetSelectionExt(ncoll As NotesNoteCollection, strDesignType As String, addlCond As String, flags As Integer)
  Like SetSelection, this lets you set up a notesNoteCollection to search for design elements of a particular type, but it adds the ability to specify additional criteria to further narrow the selection. This can be either in the form of a formula, or "*" followed by a design element title. @see DesignUtils.SetSelection()
  idx	Argument	Data Type	Attributes	Comments
  1	ncoll	NotesNoteCollection		the note collection whose selection criteria to set.
  2	strDesignType	String	ByVal	the type of design element you're looking for, e.g. "xpage" or "view".
  3	addlCond	String	ByVal	a formula that's "anded" with the selection formula for the design element type, to narrow down the design elements returned (e.g. {@Contains("$Flags"; "P")}) or "*" followed by a |-delimited list of design element names, e.g. "*Reply|Report" to search for design elements whose name or alias = "Reply" or "Report"
  4	flags	Integer	ByVal	1 for case-insensitive match of design element names, else 0. Only has an effect when the "*" syntax of addlCond is used.
