Sorting Hat - Embedded File Browser in the Lotus Notes Client UI - Flash Preview
06/11/2008 11:33:31 AM | Chris Toohey | Bethlehem, PA
So last night I played around with the Embedded Windows Explorer stuff that I mentioned yesterday and came up with the following - which I'm calling Sorting Hat:
View demo in full screen.
In this first really simple demo - we can see the embedded Microsoft Web Browser control, which is "activated" in the PostOpen event on the UI Form Design Element and uses the value stored in the url NotesItem of the NotesDocument. This allows us to not only access remotely-accessible file stores directly from a Lotus Notes client UI, but also allows drag-and-drop from this "widget" into the UI document - pretty slick!
View demo in full screen.
In this (yet again really simple) demo - we can see two embedded Microsoft Web Browser controls, again "activated" in the PostOpen event on the UI Form Design Element and that each use their own NotesItem from the NotesDocument for it's control (url and url2 respectively). The big difference in this example, you can drag-and-drop from one "widget" to another "widget" to move files across remote file stores - really slick!
Now, there are some issues with this approach that I'll get into in the next few days - the biggest being that the UI Document needs to be in Edit mode from what I can tell to run the Microsoft Web Browser control. I'm working around that stuff now and expect to have this example database available for download pretty soon!

@John:
That worked like a charm! Thanks for the info - updated Sorting Hat and will be playing around with a few of the other options to see just how far I can take this...
- on here? Did you comment and it not show, or am I taking that wrong? I tend to publish all comments now and have only ever removed those that were blatantly spam. Did you have problems leaving a comment here or on another post on this site?06/13/2008 11:01:08 AM
on the first post, I actually double posted
I have a lot of related code to this as I have been using it myself for a few years, code to have the share locked down to one user, and you log into it on doc open and out on doc close, also if you get a script warning trying to work on the file in the embedded control I have code to add it to the trusted sights registry entry.

Question about Read Mode: If the user is set in the ACL as a Reader with "Write Public Documents" is not checked, I get "Note Item not found". I hate it when that happens, don't you? Anyway, If I check that option it works. I hae the RunReadOnly set as True in the Properties of the Web Browser object. I know some ACL tricks to get around it (more development time), but I am hoping there is a simple setting on the object, that will solve this. Any help will be appreciated..
