Lenni,

 

It may have been easier to split these into separate questions as there's a huge amount of detail you're asking for here. But here goes anyway!

 

I made a demo a while back with three ways to build a search interface with sortable columns. It might be of interest to you..

 

 

If the view has a lot of data (more than a thousand entries), you're probably better of setting the columns sortable in the notes view/using a view panel. The reason is that the methods used in blogpost are quite resource hungry (CPU/memory).

Toby,

 

Using a view with keys should work. You can simply tell the Notes form to use an XPage when opened from the web. This is the way we built some of http://elguji.com. 

 

 

Sorry, its not hide() its close() ...

 

see the example here: http://www.xpagecontrols.com/xpagesblog.nsf/TooltipSample.xsp

Finaly I have a solution! Thank's to Paul Hanan, Mareen Leeland and Teresa Monahan!

 

You have to do a little trick, below the examples for a viewPanel, a dataTable and a Repeater. The only thing I could't solve is that if you resize a picture, you see it in the original dimensions in the container controls.

Sample Code for viewPanel.

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xp:view xmlns:xp="http://www.ibm.com/xsp/core">

    <xp:this.data>
        <xp:dominoView var="view1" viewName="view1"></xp:dominoView>
    </xp:this.data>
   
    <xp:viewPanel rows="30" id="viewPanel1" var="vp1"
        showColumnHeader="false">
        <xp:this.data>
            <xp:dominoView var="viewArticles" viewName="Articles"></xp:dominoView>
        </xp:this.data>
       
        <xp:viewColumn id="viewColumn1" value="">
       
            <xp:this.facets>
                <xp:viewColumnHeader xp:key="header" id="viewColumnHeader1">
                </xp:viewColumnHeader>

            <xp:panel>
                <xp:this.data>
                    <xp:dominoDocument var="document1" action="openDocument"
                        documentId="#{javascript:vp1.getNoteID()}">
                    </xp:dominoDocument>
                </xp:this.data>
                <xp:inputRichText id="inputRichText1" value="#{document1.ArticleContent}"
                    readonly="true">
                </xp:inputRichText>
            </xp:panel>
           
        </xp:viewColumn>
       
    </xp:viewPanel>
   
</xp:view>

 

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xp:view xmlns:xp="http://www.ibm.com/xsp/core">
    <xp:this.data>
        <xp:dominoView var="view1" viewName="Articles"></xp:dominoView>
    </xp:this.data>

    <xp:dataTable id="dataTable1" rows="30" var="row"
        value="#{view1}">
        <xp:column id="column1">
                        <xp:panel>
                <xp:this.data>
                    <xp:dominoDocument var="doc" action="openDocument"
                        documentId="#{javascript:row.getNoteID()}">
                    </xp:dominoDocument>
                </xp:this.data>
                <xp:inputRichText id="inputRichText1"
                    value="#{doc.ArticleContent}" readonly="true">
                </xp:inputRichText>
            </xp:panel>
        </xp:column>
    </xp:dataTable>
   
</xp:view>

 

Sample Code for Repeater.

 

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xp:view xmlns:xp="http://www.ibm.com/xsp/core">

    <xp:this.data>
        <xp:dominoView var="view1" viewName="Articles"></xp:dominoView>
    </xp:this.data>

    <xp:repeat id="repeat1" rows="30" value="#{view1}" var="row">

        <xp:panel>
            <xp:this.data>
                <xp:dominoDocument var="doc" action="openDocument"
                    documentId="#{javascript:row.getNoteID()}">
                </xp:dominoDocument>
            </xp:this.data>
            <xp:inputRichText id="inputRichText1" value="#{doc.ArticleContent}"
                readonly="true">
            </xp:inputRichText>
        </xp:panel>

    </xp:repeat>
</xp:view>

 

I suspect you're thinking about this in slightly the wrong way. 

 

The repeat control is automatically looping over the elements in the vector for you. You can output each element of the vector by referencing the variable name the you used when creating the repeat control (the collection name). 

 

If you've got a check box being repeated then you'll need to have a read up on check box groups here: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/ddwiki.nsf/dx/02102008091536PHABPL.htm and then if you want to access that value you can either bind the checkbox group to a document binding or a scoped variable in the data settings.

 

Hope this helps.
