Design Pane<br />
The design pane is the window below the main design window and the<br />
action pane. This is where all the programming work in Notes, be it using<br />
simple actions, the <strong>for</strong>mula language or <strong>LotusScript</strong>, takes place.<br />
The design pane is, by default, visible when you create a new <strong>for</strong>m or open<br />
one <strong>for</strong> editing. You can also drag the border between the main design<br />
window and the design pane to change the size of both, or to hide the<br />
design pane altogether. You can also show and hide the design pane by<br />
choosing View → Design Pane, just as you do to show and hide the action<br />
pane.<br />
The design pane is also used when you are creating or editing a database or<br />
view action.<br />
There are a number of components to the design pane. Let’s look at each<br />
one of them.<br />
Define Box<br />
The define box is a combo box that shows you all of the objects on your<br />
<strong>for</strong>m that can be programmed, along with all of the actions defined <strong>for</strong> the<br />
<strong>for</strong>m.<br />
Event Box<br />
This combo box shows all of the programmable events <strong>for</strong> the object<br />
showing in the define box. Each object has its own set of events, so the<br />
contents of this box will change in accordance with the object specified in<br />
the define box. There are also some cases where no events are available, in<br />
which case the event box is not shown. Also, <strong>LotusScript</strong> procedures or<br />
|subs| which you add to your Notes application will appear in this list.<br />
