      No this does not work  !!!

      Tested on

      IBM Domino Designer 10
      Release 10.0.1FP1
      Revision 20190326.0648-FP1 (Release 10.0.1FP1)

       

      We are not talking about derrived classes in general , but especially deriving from the Notes System classes like NotesDocument, Notesview, ... That would be great !

      Using a Notes Class as a base class ist not yet possible. Only user classes can be used for this purpose. Would be a great feature though. Would like to have it.

      Hi Thomas.

      It is not allowed to subclass a Notes* class. For example I wrote this in a new agent:

      private class myDocumentClass as NotesDocument

      end class

      And I get the error "Cannot subclass NOTESDOCUMENT".

      https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/it/SSVRGU_8.5.3/com.ibm.designer.domino.main.doc/H_STR_ADTSUBCLS.html

      I think "Already exists" in not true.

      I'd love to be wrong, but this is what I've come across with my 9.0.1 (FP10) Designer.
