LotusScript Classes Coding Guidelines

The following topics cover some general guidelines for writing LotusScript® code using Domino® objects:

Using the Domino classes
Domino Designer defines LotusScript classes that allow you to access Domino structures on two levels:
Using LotusScript features in Domino
All LotusScript features work in Domino exactly as specified in generic LotusScript, with the following exceptions and clarifications:
Accessing Domino databases
Accessing views and folders
Accessing documents in LotusScript classes
Accessing items in LotusScript classes
Accessing rich text items in LotusScript classes
Accessing sessions
Accessing supporting Domino objects
Handling run-time errors
Accessing the Domino Objects through COM
Using OLE
The Notes client is an OLE automation controller and server.
Using OLE custom controls
You can embed OLE custom controls in Domino Designer forms and write scripts for them just as you can for a native object. When a control is active (has focus), the menu is a combination of Domino Designer (File, Applet, and Window) and control items. The control menu items may include one for itself (for example, "Spreadsheet" for a spreadsheet control) and Help--the control help is substituted for Domino Designer help.
