Re: You could walk the ViewEntries, but... ~Umberto Nongeroson 5.Jan.04 06:08 PM a Web browser Notes Client 6.5Windows XP
I'd love to see an optional parameter to NotesUIView.SelectDocument() that allows you to keep current documents selected. As it stands now there is no way to programatically select multiple documents in Notes.
Shift-click in the context of Notes we are discussing is no different than regular-click. Both select individual documents -- the same effect as pressing the spacebar. The point we're all trying to make is this: in every major OS and 99% of all other software that presents you with a selectable list of items you can easily select "all items between these two, inclusive". If you want to select a close group of 10,000 out of say, 150,000 documents in a view you'll currently be forced to:
(1) Use the drag-and-hold feature
(2) Think for awhile on how multiple full-text searches will help you find the docs you want (you'll need two to cover the 10,000 docs), possibly needing to wait for index updates in-between
(3) Hope you have designer access, designer knowledge, time to build a view and the server resources to spare as it builds
A shift-click (or ctrl-click, alt-click, etc.) to select a range of documents would be a huge benefit for many people.
