Don't Debug Lotusscript11/13/2006 03:35 PM
The last time I blogged (is that a word?) was about 2 months ago, I was burried in a project, but I proposed a solution to the problem, where a developer is using the debugger, then has to switch gears and read or write an email.
Invariably for me, I forget to turn the debugger off and have to hit the continue button to in the lotusscript debugger to be able to actually do, what I wanted.
The solution that I proposed was to set the design hidden flag in the mailfile.
Now that I've got a little time, I was able to write the code for it here, its real rough code, but, it does the job.
Unfortunatly, it does not work.
What notes is actually using it the existence of a field called $$FormScript on the form design element.
I wrote the code that does that here and it seems to work fine.
When you run it, it works like a toggle.
If the agent has run before, it reverts out the changes it made previously
If the agent has not run before, it will make backup copies of the $$FormScript item on the "Memo", "Reply" and "Reply With History" forms and protect them from the designer task that runs on the server at night.
Its designed to be placed as an agent in your mailfile.

Thanks, it works when I create a new mail, but, it still uses the debugger when I open my mailfile from the workspace. Any idea whats happening?
