Lotus Domino Designer 6 adds the following programmable design elements:

• For views, formulas can be used to hide columns. See "Hidden column formulas."
• For views, formulas can be used to customize row colors (text and background). See "Row custom color formulas."
• For frames, link hotspots, and outline entries, formulas can be used to generate the kind of named element (for example, Form, Page, or View), the name of the database containing the element, and the name of the element. See "Named element formulas."
• For twisties in view columns and embedded outlines, formulas can be used to specify the image. See "Image formulas."

Event model

Lotus Domino Designer 6 distinguishes between Notes client and Web browser events in the following cases. The client events permit LotusScript and in some cases Formula and Simple action(s) in addition to JavaScript. See "Event descriptions" and "Event sequencing."

• onBlur (Field) becomes onBlur - Client and onBlur - Web
• onFocus (Field) becomes onFocus - Client and onFocus - Web
• onHelp (Form, Page) becomes onHelp - Client and onHelp - Web
• onLoad (Form, Page) becomes onLoad - Client and onLoad - Web
• onSubmit (Form) becomes onSubmit - Client and onSubmit - Web
• onUnload (Form, Page) becomes onUnload - Client and onUnload - Web

• Entering (Field); use onFocus - Client instead
• Exiting (Field); use onBlur - Client instead
• PostOpen (Form, Page); use onLoad - Client instead
• QueryClose (Form, Page); use onUnload instead
• QuerySave (Form); use onSubmit instead

• HelpRequest (Form, Page); use onHelp instead

• InViewEdit (NotesUIView)
• OnBlur (Field)
• OnChange (Field)
• OnFocus (Field)
• OnHelp event (NotesUIDocument)
• PostEntryResize (NotesUIView)
• PostSend (NotesUIDocument)
• QueryEntryResize (NotesUIView)
• QueryRecalc (NotesUIDocument)
• QuerySend (NotesUIDocument)

In this release, you can use auto completion to look up and paste @functions, @commands, and LotusScript classes, properties and methods right into the Programmer's Pane as you enter code. The feature also provides parameter prompting to show you how to complete a statement.

Remote debugging

In Release 6 you can debug any agents or script libraries currently running on the server remotely.

Persistent breakpoints

Breakpoints in a script being debugged no longer disappear when the application session ends. You must explicitly clear them to remove them from the script.

JavaScript script libraries

You can create libraries using the JavaScript language in addition to LotusScript and Java.

Web services

You can create an application that can be accessed remotely as a Web service. The service is built as a standard Notes database that uses a Web agent and script libraries to perform a specific Domino-related task. You can also create a WSDL file as a page element with XML content.
