XPages User Guide and Reference
This guide describes how to develop HCL Domino® Designer applications using XPages, forms, views, and other elements such as controls.
- Product overview
  HCL Domino® Designer supports applications development for the HCL Domino platform using XPages, forms, views, and other elements such as controls.
- Understanding XPages
  An XPages application is XML interpreted by a Domino® server or Notes® client and rendered in a web browser or a Notes client. You can interact with controls on the page to send requests to the server.
- Forms and views
  In Domino®, a form defines how documents are displayed to the user and how the form's data items are stored. A view reports documents in columns and rows.
- Navigation in Domino® Designer
  HCL Domino® Designer is installed as Eclipse perspectives arranged into easy-to-access views, palettes, and editors. You can perform tasks using the main menu, right-click menus, and icons in the view, palette, and editor title bars.
- Design elements and the Applications Navigator
  Available design elements are displayed by the Applications Navigator.
- Design editor
  The Design editor is where you edit XPages and other design elements, and view lists of design elements.
- Source editor
  Use the Source editor to directly edit XPages source code.
- Palettes and views
  Palettes and views provide the tools for working with the design elements.
- Setting Domino Designer user preferences
  You can customize Domino Designer so that it runs and displays just the way you want it to.
- Setting general Domino Designer user preferences
  You can customize many of the general settings of Domino® Designer so that the tool functions the way you that want.
- Setting Domino Designer Application Navigator preferences
  You can customize the Designer Application Navigator display preferences to display only the design elements that you wish.
- Setting Domino Designer Java Editor user preferences
  You can customize the settings of the Java™ Editor in Domino® Designer so that it runs the way you want it to.
- Setting Domino Designer LotusScript Editor user preferences
  You can customize many of the settings of the LotusScript® Editor in Domino® Designer so that it functions the way you want it to.
- Setting Domino Designer Source Control user preferences
  You can customize Domino Designer source control features to make your application development process and source control tasks more efficient.
- Setting Domino Designer XPages user preferences
  You can modify XPages settings in Domino® Designer so that you can use this unique design element in custom ways in your application development.
- Getting information
  The immediate resource for getting information is the installed help system.
- Setting a search scope
  A search scope limits the help topics that are searched.
- Accessibility and keyboard shortcuts
  HCL Domino® Designer provides some assistive aids to those with restricted mobility or limited vision.
- Tutorials
  This section contains tutorials and information about tutorials.
- XPages Site Finder tutorial
  This tutorial demonstrates the ease with which you can create a Web application in HCL Domino® Designer using XPage elements. Using this tutorial you create and preview three XPages. You place controls on the XPages for accessing and viewing data, navigating to other pages, refreshing the same page, and performing other actions. You will even use JavaScript™.
- Setting up the sample application
  During the course of the tutorial, you create three XPages named Site, SiteFinder, and SiteList. When you first open the sample application, you see existing XPages with similar names. Three of them are final solutions and are named SiteFinal, SiteFinderFinal, and SiteListFinal. Two of them are intermediate solutions and are named Site1 and SiteList1.
- Creating an XPage
  This lesson teaches you how to create a basic XPage.
- Adding a view control
  An XPage view control is used to display information from a defined view. The control that you create in this lesson lets you display data from the SiteList view.
- Creating an XPage for editing
  Forms can also be used to design Web pages, but XPages allow more UI options and greater control of appearance with less effort. It's helpful to also have a form to provide a list of fields for binding data. Also the form can be used to calculate computed fields with field formulas rather than putting code on the XPage.
- Creating controls to add and delete documents
  The SiteList XPage lets you see and edit documents in the application, but we need to add controls to create and delete documents.
- Creating an XPage for searching
  The user uses this page to specify search parameters and see the results. The search parameters are values for the city, state, country, and zip code. The user can fill in any of these parameters and click a button. The page is refreshed and results are displayed as a view. A search property for the view limits the display to documents that match the search parameters.
- Administering applications

  For better performance, server-based XPages applications that run in the Notes® client can instead run on the Domino® HTTP server.
- Translating an XPages application
  When translating XPages and Custom Controls, do not make new copies for each language, since the XPage translation mechanism is different from the mechanism for the non-XPage HCL Notes® design elements.
- Designing single copy XPages
  You can store XPage design elements in one database and redirect other databases there at run-time.
- Creating accessible applications with XPages - an overview

- Designing with custom controls in XPages
  A custom control is a collection of controls that are stored as a single object. Similar to the way a subform can be placed on more than one form, a custom control can be created once and added to multiple XPages. When you update a custom control, every XPage that uses that custom control automatically gets updated with the changes. This saves you design time because you do not have to update each XPage separately.
- Creating custom controls
  Create a new custom control to use in XPages.
- Setting properties for custom controls as independent design elements
  Set properties for the custom control as an independent design element. Properties include options for configuring data sources, applying styles, specifying validation and visibility settings, and more.
- Setting general properties for custom controls
  Set general properties for custom controls. You can add a description, and set options for displaying the custom control in the Controls palette.
- Setting property definition properties for custom controls
  Define your own properties for the custom control. You can specify default editors and values to use when setting properties for custom controls inside XPages. You can also write scripts that determine when properties are visible and considered valid inside XPages.
- Adding UI controls to custom controls
  Add user interface (UI) controls to the custom control. Then, you can select each UI control individually and set properties for it just as you would for a UI control inside an XPage.
- Defining editable areas in custom controls
  Define the editable areas that you want to include in the custom control. Editable areas are regions that users can modify when the custom control is placed on an XPage. All other regions that fall outside of editable areas are read-only and cannot be modified.
- Setting properties for editable areas in custom controls
  Set properties for editable areas in the custom control. You can set properties for the name of the editable area as well as the facet name. You can also configure how and if the editable area is visible inside the custom control at run time.
- Adding custom controls to XPages
  Add the custom control to an XPage.
- Setting properties for custom controls in XPages
  Set properties for the custom control as it relates to the XPage that contains it. You can set properties for its name and visibility status as well as for any additional properties that you defined when setting properties for the custom control design element.
- Adding UI controls to editable areas in custom controls
  Add controls to editable areas in the custom control. You can set properties for these controls in the Properties view, just as you would set properties for any other controls that you add to XPages. You can also change the facet name of controls in editable areas if you are computing the value at run time.
- Organizing custom controls in the Controls palette
  Organize custom controls in the Controls palette. You can put them in categories for easy access.
- Adding controls from the XPages Extension Library
  The XPages Extension Library provides additional controls ready to use. The controls include an application layout object, an improved dialog, pickers, in place forms, Dojo components, dynamic content, and much more. The controls support enhancements to the Domino(r)® templates.

- Adding images, styles, and themes
  You can enhance your design with images, styles, and themes.
- Designing with images in XPages
  XPages use the image resources within your application for image control and other image settings. As such, working with images in XPages is actually working with image resources. Also, when you want to designate an area for an image but do not have a copy of the image yet, you can create a image placeholder and add the image later. In most locations, an image property of an XPage control can be computed so that the image can be determined at runtime. You can import images from your local machine, add them to XPages and custom controls, and copy them in one application and paste them into another application. You can delete and rename images in applications. Finally, you can also choose a PNG, GIF, JPEG, or BMP file to use as a high quality application icon image for your applications or you can use the classic "16 color" images.
- Images
  You can import JPEG, BMP, and GIF images into applications from your local file system. After you import images, you can add them to XPages and custom controls. Images that you have imported display in both the Resources > Images section in the Applications Navigator and also as available resources for the Image UI control on the Core Controls palette.
- Importing images into applications
  Import images from your local file system into your application. You can import images in any of the following file formats: PNG, JPEG, BMP, and GIF. Once you have imported the image you can also rename or delete it.
- Adding images and image placeholders to design elements
  Add images that you have imported into the application. You can also add image placeholders if you want to reserve space on the XPage or in the control but do not have a copy of the image yet.
- Setting image properties
  Set and display properties that define how image resources are handled in your application. By selecting the image in the Applications Navigator, you can view file information and set basic and advanced properties including Web Properties, Design options and more.
- Adding styles in XPages
  If you want to override the default styles provided with the target platform, you can create new styles or import existing styles from your local file system. You can add style sheets to applications and then add them to the XPages within the applications. You can also create custom formatting, export it to a style sheet as a class, and then reuse it across multiple XPages and controls.
- Designing with styles
  By default, XPages and user interface (UI) controls use the default cascading styles sheets (CSS) provided with Domino® Server. However, you can override Domino Server styles with your own style sheets and custom settings.
- Creating style sheets
  Create new style sheets and add them to applications.
- Importing style sheets
  Import style sheets from your local file system and add them to applications.
- Setting style sheet properties
  Set and display properties that define how style sheet resources are handled in your application. By selecting the style sheet in the Applications Navigator, you can view file information and set basic and advanced properties including Web Properties, Design options and more.
- Adding style sheets to Xpages
  When you create or import a style sheet and add it to a application, you are ready to add it to XPages within the application. Then, you can apply style classes to XPages and controls. You can also create custom formatting and export style attributes to the style sheet.
- Applying style classes
  After you create or import style sheets to the application, apply style classes to design elements or compute the class value based on a formula.
- Working with custom styles
  Create your own custom styles for XPages and controls.
- Setting custom font properties
  Apply font styles to design elements, for example, the font family, size, color, alignment, and more.
- Setting custom background properties
  Apply background and border styles to design elements, for example, color and image properties for backgrounds and border style and width properties for borders.
- Setting custom margin properties
  Apply margin and padding styles to design elements, for example, spacing between controls and their containers or padding between design elements and the edge of the XPage.
- Exporting custom formatting to style sheets
  When setting custom style properties for design elements, you can export the style attributes into a style sheet as a new style class. Then you can apply the style class to other design elements. Later, if you decide to edit the style class, your changes will take effect in all design elements that are associated with it without having to modify each design element individually.
- Designing with themes in XPages
  A theme is used to define the look and feel of an application.
- Creating a theme resource
  Create new themes and add them to applications.
- Theme file format
  Themes are defined in XML files using specific tags.
