NotesSession

• NotesSession.GetPropertyBroker( ) -- Returns NotesPropertyBroker.

• NotesPropertyBroker.InputPropertyContext (property) -- Returns an array of input NotesProperties. For current releases, only the first member of the array will be populated.
• NotesPropertyBroker.Namespace (property) -- String. Provides the Read/Write default namespace of interest for PropertyBroker.
• NotesPropertyBroker.HasProperty(Name) -- Boolean. Indicates whether a new property exists.
• NotesPropertyBroker.GetProperty(Name) -- Returns NotesProperty.
• NotesPropertyBroker.GetPropertyValue(Name) --Returns the value for a specified property.
• NotesPropertyBroker.SetPropertyValue(Name, Value) -- Returns NotesProperty. It creates a backend object and populates it with the value. This method throws an error if the property name is not defined by WSDL..
• NotesPropertyBroker.ClearProperty -- A new method that purges any new or modified property, not for input properties.
• NotesPropertyBroker.Publish -- A new method that publishes all new and modified properties.

• NotesProperty.Values (property) - Read/Write for simple properties: Returns a Variant array of type String. Single value properties contain data in first array element. As input, accepts Variant or Array of type String. The Array must be homogeneous. At this time, an Array can contain only one String entry. Input properties cannot be set.
• NotesProperty.Name (property) -- Read only. Returns property name as string.
• NotesProperty.TypeName (property) -- Read only. Returns type name as string.
• NotesProperty.NameSpace (property) -- Read only. Returns namespace as string.
• NotesProperty.Title (property) -- Read only. Returns title as string.
• NotesProperty.isInput (property) -- Read only. Returns true if this is an input property, otherwise false. Returns Boolean.
• NotesProperty.Description (property) -- Read only. Returns description as string.
• NotesProperty.Publish( ) -- A new method that publishes this property if modified.
• NotesProperty.Clear( ) -- A new method that purges this property if new or modified.

The property broker format (relative to LSX) is as below:

• LotusScript code in a Notes database can publish properties to the property broker.
• LotusScript code in Notes actions can be triggered by the property broker in the context of a Notes view or form.
• Columns in the selected row in a view can declaratively be published.

New LotusScript API to publish properties

Sub Click(Source As Button)

Dim s As New NotesSession

...

Dim pb As NotesPropertyBroker

Set pb = s.GetPropertyBroker()

Call pb.setPropertyValue("Track", newTrack$)

Call pb.Publish()

...

End Sub

New LotusScript API to retrieve properties

Sub Click(Source As Button)

Dim s As New notessession

...

Dim pb As NotesPropertyBroker

Set pb = s.GetPropertyBroker()

Dim pbInputProperty As NotesProperty

Dim pbContext As Variant

pbContext = pb.InputPropertyContext

Set pbInputProperty = pbContext(0)

Dim InputPropertyName As String

Dim NameSpace As String  

InputPropertyName = pbInputProperty.Name

NameSpace = pbInputProperty.NameSpace

Dim pbValue As Variant

pbValue = pb.getPropertyValue(InputPropertyName,NameSpace)

cName$ = pbValue(0)

...

End Sub
