Search within a category on the web
Have you ever had the need to search within a category in a Domino web view? By default (at least I can't find any other option), you can't do this with a ?SearchView command. In Ext.nd, we don't use ?SearchView since it doesn't return the data formatted as XML like ?ReadViewEntries does. Therefore, we have our own agent that we call that will do a search and return xml data so we can load it in a nice looking Ext grid. Well, now this search agent will also search WITHIN a category you have your view restricted to. This really comes in handy for our PickList dialog. You can try it out here if you want. Just click the "show picklist using a category" button, and then at the bottom of the dialog, type in your search words and click "search". The search will then be executed but only within the category you are currently viewing. Once we release the next beta of Ext.nd you can try it out in your own apps.
Jack, Great job!
When will be available this release?
Thanks in advance
