Compatibility DWA 7 customization / iNotes Lite framework

Subject: Compatibility DWA 7 customization / iNotes Lite framework

Feedback Type: Question

Product Area: iNotes - Full mode

Technical Area: Customization

Platform: Windows 2003 server

Release: 8.5

Reproducible: Not applicable

We have made customizations to our DWA 7 mailfiles modifying the Forms7.nsf. The modifications consist of 4 view actions (mail / calendarviews) and some code being executed, when a document (mail or calendar) is opened. I’m currently trying to get this functionality working in iNotes 8.5 (Full mode) as well.

The document opening functionality still runs in Classic Mode, so my modifications to Custom_JS subform are still working.

The view actions now run in the Lite framework, so my DWA 7 code is not working anymore even when I put it in the Custom_JS_Lite subform.

Basically these actions act on selected documents in the view, presenting the user input forms in a dialog using

window.showModalDialog

and then starting Notes Script agents, based on the dialog results using

document.forms.[sAgentForm].submit()

This code doesn’t seem to work when started in iNotes Lite framework.

Is there something like a DWA 7 compatibility mode in iNotes 8.5?
If not, is there more documentation for customizing iNotes 8.5, especially covering the differences to DWA 7 (Starting agents in iNotesLite framework, for example)?

I read the articles about the ‘iNotes Lite framework’ and ‘Manipulating data in iNotes Lite forms’, which are very helpful and cover a lot (but obviously not all).

So, any hint that could point me to more documentation / examples for the iNotes Lite framework is very much appreciated.

Many thanks,
Veit
