New LS method "notesView.GetCategoryEntryByKey"

Set notesViewEntry = notesView.GetCategoryEntryByKey( key [, exactMatch% ] )

 

This would give the great benefit, to access the total columns of a view category row (a ViewEntry with IsCategory = True).

 

Example:

Think about a view, with categories and documents below, with numbers to be summed up.

The total value of all documents below a category can be read within the category ViewEntry.

This value already exists within the view index - nothing needs to be summed up or calculated - the result is already there.

But unfortunately we have no LS command to get it!

    It would be much more performant without that lenghty workaround!


    >>set doc = view.GetDocumentByKey("yourCategoryValue", True) 'get the first doc under your category

    >>set vnav = view.Createviewnav() 'build a view navigator for the entire view

    >>set ve = vnav.Getentry(doc) 'get the view entry correspoding to doc

    >>set vecat = vnav.GetPrevCategory(ve) 'now access the category entry itself

    A bit of a late answer, I know. But you can do that already using a NotesViewNavigtor, as in

    (assuming you already have a view object)

    set doc = view.GetDocumentByKey("yourCategoryValue", True) 'get the first doc under your category

    set vnav = view.Createviewnav() 'build a view navigator for the entire view

    set ve = vnav.Getentry(doc) 'get the view entry correspoding to doc

    set vecat = vnav.GetPrevCategory(ve) 'now access the category entry itself
