Now how can I do this in the Notes client
Wednesday, June 18th, 2008
I want to be able to present a text link and/or URL in a view column that a user can click on to launch a website without them having to open up the document. Is there any way to do this in the Notes client? I know I can use an action button but this to me is unacceptable. Anybody? If there is no way to do it I may have to post an idea on IdeaJam. This is clearly Notes should be able to do.

Not the most elegant approach, perhaps... but it works.

I have an application (written 6 years ago and not modified much since) that uses the NotesUIWorkspace.URLOpen method in the PostOpen event to open a URL defined in the document. You need a different way to edit the document (I use a dialog box) and it requires a double click to open the link, but it works.

I use the inviewedit event to check for a web or email address in the doc and either open a url or create a new mail message depending upon the icon/column you clicked on.
caret = Source.CaretNoteID
Set doc = db.GetDocumentByID(caret)
If Colprogname(0) = "mailcolumn" Then
If doc.MailAddress(0) = "" Then
Exit Sub
End If
Call maildb.OpenMail
Set maildoc = maildb.CreateDocument
maildoc.Form = "Memo"
maildoc.SendTo = doc.MailAddress(0)
Call ws.EditDocument(1,maildoc)
Elseif Colprogname(0) = "webcolumn" Then
If doc.WebSite(0) = "" Then
Exit Sub
End If
Call ws.URLOpen(doc.WebSite(0))
End If

As Dave suggests, you could use the InViewEdit event to have a column click launch the URL. LotusGeek contains some great descriptions, and Martin recently wrote about how you could indicate whether a column was 'programmed', to provide a visual clue to the user as well.

Add this to your list of options. Create a form the has the form properties set to "Launch first URL". Then assign a form formula to the view that uses this form. The form need only have a single field "URL".

I have used a different type of version in this.But all they be used carefully otherwise they will create problem.And code is to be developed little carefully.Create a email message depend upon the click on icon or column.

Replication between a Notes client and Domino server can run automatically ... Earlier releases of Notes did not always do so. Early releases also did not offer a way to encrypt NSF files, raising concerns that local ... Notes databases are also not relational, although there is a SQL driver that can be used with ...

I admire the journey you are taking, John, and know when your writing is coming from the heart; the details to back up your thoughts will follow, everytime, as evident in this essay.
