Domino Connection

Setting document contents

It is equally easy to set document contents. Just use the at:put: protocol of your AbtLnNote instance. If you are not sure about the existence of a particular field, you can send the hasItem: message to the document.

As stated before, the fields in a document are typed. So if you put data into fields, be sure that you supply the proper data types. The at: method takes care of most of the necessary conversions.

Use the following classes to set the corresponding items:

Smalltalk Class AbtLnItem
String AbtLnItemText
Float AbtLnItemNumber
String AbtLnItemComposite

If you want to set an AbtLnItemTimeDate, the following parameters can be passed:

Array with: aDate and: aTime

AbtLnTimeDate

If you want to set any of the multiple value fields use the corresponding formats:

OrderedCollection of AbtLnItem
String AbtLnItemTextList
Float AbtLnItemNumberRange
Time or Date AbtLnTimeRange
Note:
Changes to field values become persistent only when a document is stored. Use the store method with your AbtLnNote instance to save the changes.
Note:
Domino Connection supports some additional field properties. Readers and Authors fields are maintained during read and write operations with the Smalltalk classes.
