This is Ben Langhinrichs of Genii Software with a Mini-Lesson called
Out of Notes Part 8: Integrating with Notes 9 and the Browser Plugin
Switching to our desktop, let's open up IBM Notes 9 Social Edition
Once we're in there, we're going to open up the Designer Help database
because that is a known, standard database.
We've added an agent to this. I'll show you that in a little bit.
So, we do a search in here. We're going to search for "rich text programming".
Let's see what that comes up with.
It will come up with 46 documents. If we select those documents
now we're going to run the agent. It's called "Open selected in capsule MHT".
Click on that and it opens up the capsule view in the embedded browser inside Notes.
We can cycle through the different documents.
This agent uses Midas Version 5, of course.
We can cycle up and down, and again all in the integrated browser.
So this is one way you can use the Midas 5 capsule views inside the Notes 9 client.
But another way is to go into the browser. This is the Firefox browser
and we're going to open up the browser plugin.
If you go in here, it's pretty much the same thing.
We'll go into the Designer Help database in the workspace inside Firefox
We'll do a different search this time. We'll search for "MAPI".
It has fewer documents, 8 documents, so we're going to select those and
and again run the "Open selected in capsule MHT" agent,
and the only real difference is that it opens up
in the Internet Explorer browser to view this, instead of the integrated browser.
Just as before, we can see all the well-rendered documents
that matched our search, but inside the browser.
If we switch over, we can look at what the code for this looks like.
Basically, we just take each of the selected documents and add it to the collection
and then call ExportToMime.
At the bottom, you'll notice that we've used Capsule='Yes'.
That just says it's going to be a capsule view and not integrated separately.
Finally we do a NotesUIWorkspace.URLOpen
and that just opens the MHT file we've just created.
That's an easy way to integrate with Notes 9 and with the browser plugin.
Thank you very much.
