Background

DXL, Domino’s native XML “dialect” offers myriad possibilities to the Notes developer. Finally, we can send people the means to “merge” design elements into their databases, we can extract, examine, and alter Notes database designs outside of Domino Designer, and we can import and export data from all over the place.

So where to start?

Simple DXL processing

The attached database is intended as a start for the Notes developer in this endeavour, whilst also attempting to be of some actual use! Fill out a document, click a button, and you can update the colours of all action bars and action bar colours within a specified database. There are a few toggles enabling you to select certain design elements in the NotesNoteCollection that is parsed, but essentiallly, that’s all there is to the application.

This version looks for — and updates — a single attribute of the action bar / action bar button design elements. There are a number of attributes that could be tweaked of course, but it’s a start. In this instance we’re looking at bgcolor.

Have fun!
