FORMULA LANGUAGE


@UpdateFormulaContext
Example

Updates the context of a formula to the Notes client window currently being accessed by the code. For example, if the code accesses a new form called "Response" by using @Command([Compose]:"Response", @UpdateFormulaContext switches the context of the formula to this new form. Any subsequent functions in the code execute in the context of the Response document, not the current document.

Note This function in new with Release 6.

Syntax

@UpdateFormulaContext

Usage

You can use @UpdateFormulaContext to extract values from or set values in external documents. You can even access document- and database-specific information using functions such as @DbName, @DbTitle, @Created, @DocumentUniqueID, @GetDocField, @GetField, @GetProfileDocument.

This function is only valid in the Notes client; it is not supported in Web applications. @UpdateFormulaContext is only valid in formulas that interact with the user, such as in agents that have no target documents, events, toolbar buttons, hotspot buttons, and actions. It does not work in formulas in which @commands cannot be used.
