Domino Connection
Use the Domino mail part property list window to determine
the properties of a mail part. A non-visible mail part is used to
create Domino documents to be mailed by the Domino mail system. The
mail part specifies which fields are available for display and for data
entry.
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 mail 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 .
- recipientsFormEntries
- Use the recipientsFormEntries property to determine which
fields will be included in the mail routing process of the Lotus Domino mail
facility. You will be prompted with a list of field names available in
the form you have selected for the mail part. Select one or more field
names (typically: SendTo, CopyTo, BlindCopyTo). All valid mail
user names contained in those fields will be used for mail routing.
- 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.
- mailBoxDatabaseAlias
- You need to set up a connection to a mailbox database in order to send
mail. Use the mailBoxDatabaseAlias property to select an alias for the
connection specification which points to the mailbox.
- partName
- Use the partName property to set the mail part's
name. The partName is displayed on the composition editor's free
form surface.
- saveInMailFile
- If the saveInMailFile property is set to true, every document
that is sent by the mail part will automatically be stored in the host
database. The host database is specified via the connectionAlias
property. If the saveInMailFile property is set to false, mail will be
sent to the mailbox, but no documents will be stored in the host
database.
