I have a form with an embedded view. What I would like to do is hit a button on the form and change the "Embedded Selection" value. I've come close to this, but not without some adverse effects.

I have 2 views that are very similar. They're categorized exactly the same way. One view includes all mail messages and the other is the same except it doesn't show documents that are lacking a field.

On the form, I have a hidden field that will contain the name of one of the views.

In the embedded view on the form, I point the "Embedded Selection" to that field.

My buttons set the value of this field and does a @Command([ViewRefreshFields]) I also hide one or the other button depending on what the hidden field is set to in order to have a "Toggle" effect.

The drawback of this approach is that the document has to be in edit mode and of course, if all you did was open the document and hit either of those buttons (without changing anything else) it will ask if you want to save the document upon exiting. (Of course it will, I changed the hidden value....)

Is there any way I can manipulate the "Embedded Selection" value of the embedded view without being in edit mode?
