Learning XPages Part 45 : Deleting A Document
Tags : Lotus Domino XPages

Now that our phonebook editor has the ability to create person documents how about we give them the ability to delete person documents also.
For this I am going to create a new action button on the content_Person custom control so open it up in your domino designer. I could drag in a new link from the controls pane on the right and give it all the required styleclasses etc but to save time I'm going to reuse one of my existing action buttons. Select one of the existing buttons and copy it to the clipboard and then position the cursor where you'd like the new button and just paste in the clipboard contents. You now have your basic button with all the correct styleclasses.
Select you new button and in it's properties give it a new name. I have called mine 'Delete Person'.
To make the button appear to the right person and at the right time I have setup the visible properties to the following computed code :
If the document is already in edit mode then the button will be hidden, if the document is not in edit mode and the current user has the honebookEditorrole in the ACL then the button will be shown otherwise the button is hidden.
The last bit we need to do is set the action for the button. Switch to the events tab and look at the 'onClick' event. You'll need to remove the current event that is there and then click on the 'Add Action' button. This time we will select a document action with the 'Delete Document' type.
You will need to specify what XPage you want to return to after the document is deleted and if you want you can enter in some text that will be used to confirm the action.
Save and close the custom control and preview your changes in the web browser. if you are logged in and have the correct roles you should now see the edit button.
And clicking on it will bring up your confirmation text
Clicking OK should bring you back to the list of people in the last selected location ( thanks to the sessionScope.locationfilter variable ) and the person you selected should now be gone.
