Examples: Contains method (NotesDocumentCollection - LotusScript®)
This example prohibts deletion from a view unless the caret document is among those being deleted.
Sub Querydocumentdelete(Source As Notesuidatabase, Continue As Variant)
' We've had a problem in this database of people deleting documents
' accidentally because they didn't know the difference between
' highlighted and selected documents. They keep complaining that the
' delete "didn't work the first time" and doing it again, not realizing
' they deleted other docs. So, prohibit deletion from a view unless
' the caret document is among those being deleted, so the delete will
' never appear to have done nothing.
