Domino 8.5 DDE Tip - How to edit multiple design elements in the same window. (Agents, Forms, Views, XPages, etc. )02/01/2010 05:50 AMLet's say you want to edit an XPage and a Custom Control together. Open up both the XPage and Custom Control as you normally would. Open up the Custom Control. Now drag the XPage tab onto the currently opened Custom Control in the design pane. Release the mouse when the icon turns to a black arrow and a black shaded outline appears:
Once the mouse is released the screen will split and contain both design elements:
This is not limited to XPages. If you want to edit a Lotusscript agent and view the associated Notes Form at the same time you don't need to flip back and forth between tabs anymore. You open both design elements as normal. Click on the Form tab. Now drag the Lotusscript Agent tab onto the opened window toward the right side of the screen this time:
Here you can see the Form and Agent side by side:
If you need more real estate temporarily, you can double click on the design elements title and it will maximize that window. Double clicking again will restore the window size.
To move the split window back to it's original tab you can drag the window back to the Tab bar and the window will return to normal.
Good stuff....

Hello,
I am developing a requirement in Xpage in which I trying to show data from two database in a single view,I tried using tabbed table and display two views in two tab of table which is not useful for customer then I used a data table in which i cannot attach pager as pager need to be attached to single repeat and I have used two repeat to display data from two db views.
My second concern is about search functionality which i have developed in Xpage ver 8.5.1,but I am not able to display document from other db's containing a keyword in the attachment.I am using partial refresh and have placed the view in the panel and refreshing panel,i wanted FT search technique to search even keyword in the attachment and bring it up in the search view.
Lastly I am trying to use window.close() method in client 8.5.1 to close current xpage as I am placing exit label on main xpage and pressing exit xpage should close but window.close() client side script don't seem to work in 8.5.1
Any help will be helpful i have gone thru some blogs etc,xpage info and wiki site but could not get proper workaround.
Thanks.
