Question

One of the better recent enhancements to Notes was the shared columns for views. I could set width. fonts, all kinds of settings and place a shared column in a view. If I needed to say, change a column width, I changed it in one place and it changed across all of my views.

Is there anyway to do this in an xPage view? There does not seem to be a view column so there does not seem to be a way to create a custom control.

Any other ways to do this?

Answer 1

You could create a custom control for every shared column like I did in customer app.

<xp:viewColumn columnName="lastmodified" id="viewColumn4">
        <xp:this.converter>
            <xp:convertDateTime>
                <xp:this.pattern><![CDATA[${javascript:app.getResourceString("language","DATE_FORMAT")}]]></xp:this.pattern>
            </xp:convertDateTime>
        </xp:this.converter>
        <xp:viewColumnHeader id="viewColumnHeader4">
            <xp:this.value><![CDATA[#{javascript:app.getResourceString("language","COLUMNHEADER_LASTMODIFIED")}]]></xp:this.value>
        </xp:viewColumnHeader>
    </xp:viewColumn>
