Send an email with a button that has Lotusscript in it (Part 2)

And the winner is…….. DXL.

As expected, the “simplest” way to do this turned out to be creating the button with a bit of magic DXL. I stole the method and the skeleton of the code from Bryce Berry’s excellent article Create Hotspot Buttons on the Fly Using DXL. So I won’t bother going through all of that again here. I’d recommend you look at the article.

From this, I can create an email with a button. The other thing I might use it for is creating a form with a button on it so I can dictate which version of a document gets opened from a portal link. The basics will be the same, but instead of creating an email I’ll just create a document which has a button in a rich text field. Then that link (notes://whatever) can be generated and plonked down on an intranet page.

I’ll let you know.
