Have you ever written your own classes in the declarations section. Wouldn't it be nice, if the your own classes would show up in the browser like subroutines and functions.
I don't think Lotus ever want us to write our own classes, or they would allow us to inherit from the basic Notes classes ... ever tried extend the NotesDocument class ...
And it would be great, if things would finally work as described in the designer documentation ... ever tried NotesDatabase.CreateReplica ... it's now years, that it doesn't work, and the morons don't fix it.
Rich Text is the same ... and having some kind of a datagrid within a Notesform is still a wishful thinking (dynamik table) ... working with NotesRichTextTables is a nightmear ...
Maybe some of you remember long long ago there has been a tool to program in script, even under version 3. All Lotus had to do was integrating it into the client ... but dear bob balaban was too busy then ...
Well ... there is a reason Lotus failed, and had to be taken over by IBM to survive ... and it took them only a little less then 10 years to make a half way decent Notes Mail Client, as they had with ccMail ... maybe we will have a decent design environment in another 10 year ... :)
