Code / Description

Function GetCategoryDocsFromDb( db As NotesDatabase, viewName As String, category As String ) As NotesViewNavigator

' returns all docs from a given category
' posted to http://www.openntf.org/projects/codebin/codebin.nsf/CodeBySubCategory/16B4DEA132579F6D862574EF00630D42
' written by Mike Mortin

Dim view As NotesView

' get the view
Set view = db.GetView(viewName)

' get the docs from the cateogry
Set GetCategoryDocsFromDb = view.CreateViewNavFromCategory( category )
End Function

Usage / Example

Use this to shorten your code if you don't need to declare the variables other than for the lookup
It works well in a common script library
All you have to do is define each key per column you want to return on. Here, assume the 3 columns in the PeopleByLocationview are Country, Province, and City. This would return all people who are in this location:

...
key(0) = "Canada"
key(1) = "Saskatchewan"
key(1) = "Regina"
set navdocs = GetCategoryDocsFromDb(nabDb, "PeopleByLocation", key, true)
...
