In this show, brand new contributor, Bill Fox comes on to give a really interesting demo on Categorizing Repeat Controls. He’ll show repeat controls with 1, 2 and 3 levels of categorization. There’s a lot of other techniques in here as well. He’ll use custom controls with custom properties, View Navigators, Computed CSS stlyes and more.
Hope you like it!
When you use a view control there is a simple action for working with selected documents. In SSJS there is a method, getSelectedIDs (or something like that), that let’s you get a handle on any selected documents. However neither of these solutions exist for documents inside a Repeat Control.
In this show l will demonstrate how have a repeat control and get a handle on any documents that the user selects.
I’m TRYING to improve the site… It’s slow going.
P.S. This is the 25th episode of my normal NotesIn9 show. 🙂 All the XPages shows, the XPages Jumpstart and the Extended Editions can be found easily at xpages.tv
P.S. Ok. I’ll admit it. I did have a thought on doing some April Fools Joke here. Maybe a Rick Roll – but then I thought that the “Rick Roll” has run it’s course. Maybe that “Friday” song should be the new Rick Roll? But don’t worry. This video is safe! 🙂
P.P.S If you have a Mac… and Kids… a great April Fools prank is to ssh into the mac from an iPad or other device and use the “Say” command. Great fun. I had my kids thinking their Mac was Watson’s cousin. 🙂
In the very first episode of Notes In 9 I discussed the new XPages Repeat control. There’s so much you can do with this control I guess it was just a matter of time until I had to come back to it. I’m sure I’ll be talking about this again and again in the future I’m sure.
This show was born on the Notes 8.5 Forum. Judy Kilpinen was posting a question about multi-value fields in XPages. A comment was made that most of the Repeat Control examples only showed repeating views or document collections.
So in today’s show I’ll demonstrate two ways to repeat a multi-value field. The first from a document and the second from a view. The interesting thing about the view is to pull it off I’ll nest a repeat INSIDE a repeat.
How crazy is that? 🙂
Here’s a simple example of using a Repeat Control inside an XPage to display view data in a NON-Table looking format.
