Domino Form Part Properties
Use the Domino form part settings window to determine the properties of a form part. A non-visible form part is used to create Domino documents and to access data in existing Domino documents. It specifies which fields are available for display and for data entry. You can add user defined fields to customize your form.
Configuration of this part includes dynamic retrieval of structural information about a Domino database. Configure the property settings in the order listed below. If another order is used, the available property values may not appear correctly in the property editors.
Use the following property settings to configure a form part:
connectionAlias
Use the connectionAlias property to specify the name of the Domino connection specification you want to use. A Domino connection specification is used to access a specific Domino database.
formName
Use the formName property to select a form name from the list of available forms in the selected database. In order for the mail part to function properly, you need to select a formName.
userFormEntries
Use the userFormEntries property to specify additional entries to a mail document, which are not already present in the form specified by the formName property. Additional form entries can be used for extra categorization or workflow applications. If you click on the button available in the userFormEntries property cell, you will be prompted with a dialog. Use the Field Name to enter a name for a user-defined field. Be sure to comply with the Domino naming convention. Use the Domino Data Type drop-down list to select the type for a user-defined field. Use the Add button to add a previously defined field to the field list of the form part. You must specify the field name and the field type before adding a user-defined field to the mail parts field list. Select a previously defined field from the list and use the Update button to change the settings for this field. You can either change the field name or the field type. Select a user defined field from the list and use the Delete button to remove it .
connectionAlias
Use the connectionAlias property to specify the name of the Domino connection specification you want to use. A Domino connection specification is used to access a specific Domino database.
createErrorReporter
Use the createErrorReporter property to automatically create an error reporter part. If you set this property to true, you can connect the tear-off error reporter part to a message box or prompter to handle possible errors. If you set this property to false, your application will bring up a walkback window when an error occurs.
databaseFormEntries
Use the databaseFormEntries property to open a dialog showing the form's field-definitions. The databaseFormEntries property is read-only.
partName
