IsValid (NotesViewEntry - JavaScript™)

Read-only. Indicates whether a view entry is a valid entry and not a deletion stub.

Defined in

NotesViewEntry

Syntax

isValid() : boolean
Legal value Description
true if the entry is valid
false if the entry is not valid

Usage

If a document is removed after a view entry collection containing it is created, you can use the corresponding view entry for navigation but cannot access the document. If the possibility of removal exists, you should check isValid before attempting to access the document.

Examples

This button gets the entries from a categorized view, displaying the first column if the entry is a category and a document item if the entry is a document, and marking non-valid documents. 
var nav:NotesViewNavigator = database.getView("By category").createViewNav();
var entry:NotesViewEntry = nav.getFirst();
while (entry != null) {
	if (entry.isCategory()) {
		requestScope.status += "\n" + 
		entry.getColumnValues().firstElement().toString();
	} else if (entry.isDocument()) {
		requestScope.status += "\n\t" + 
		entry.getDocument().getItemValueString("subject");
		if (!entry.isValid()) {
			requestScope.status += " [is not valid]";
		}
	}
	var tmpentry:NotesViewEntry = nav.getNext(entry);
	entry.recycle();
	entry = tmpentry;
}
