Pagers

A facets region containing a pager or pagers is part of the view depending on Design specifications. You can place other controls, such as panels, in the facet region. Use Source mode to work within the facet region.

Here is a sample facet for pager controls:

<xp:this.facets>
	<xp:pager partialRefresh="true" layout="Previous Group Next"
		xp:key="headerPager" id="pager1">
	</xp:pager>
	<xp:viewTitle xp:key="viewTitle" id="viewTitle1" value="View Title"></xp:viewTitle>
	<xp:pager partialRefresh="true" layout="Previous Group Next"
		xp:key="footerPager" id="pager2">
	</xp:pager>
</xp:this.facets>
The following boxes on the Display tab under Properties affect the facet content as follows:
  • Show pager in header (selected by default) generates a pager control of key headerPager. No facets regions is generated if this is cleared.
  • Show pager in footer (cleared by default) generates a pager control of key footerPager.
  • Show title (cleared by default) generates the viewTitle control.

Usage

A View control essentially displays a Domino® view. In Design mode, you provide the name of the bound Domino® view and other information in a dialog when you create the viewPanel control. After creation, you can right-click or use the menu to add insert, append, and delete columns.

When you configure views to display categories of data, users can expand and collapse (toggle) the categories at run time. Categories are collapsed by default. When users toggle categories, the XPage reloads sothat the data on the XPage stays synchronized with the server.

For paging, a collapsed category counts as one row. For example, if you have configured a pager to navigate five rows and there are five collapsed rows of data in the view, each time a user clicks the back or forward button, the pager counts five categories, not individual hidden rows. Also, the toggle state of categories persists as users navigate back and forth through the pages of data.

These controls are not tested against the latest accessibility standards. The recommended accessible path is the Data View control.

Examples

This View Panel control has two columns.
<xp:viewPanel rows="30" id="viewPanel1">
	<xp:this.facets>
		<xp:pager partialRefresh="true" layout="Previous Group Next"
			xp:key="headerPager" id="pager1">
		</xp:pager>
	</xp:this.facets>
	<xp:this.data>
		<xp:dominoView var="view2" viewName="main"></xp:dominoView>
	</xp:this.data>
	<xp:viewColumn columnName="subject" id="viewColumn1">
		<xp:viewColumnHeader value="subject" id="viewColumnHeader1"></xp:viewColumnHeader>
	</xp:viewColumn>
	<xp:viewColumn columnName="fruit" id="viewColumn2">
		<xp:viewColumnHeader value="fruit" id="viewColumnHeader2"></xp:viewColumnHeader>
	</xp:viewColumn>
</xp:viewPanel>
