IManBrowseCmd WorkSite Explorer

I have an application that uses the IManExt2Lib.IManBrowseCmd command to perform a folder search.

If you select the WorkSite Explorer from the dialog and browse to a folder with subfolders, the number of subfolders returned in the dialog list box does not appear to be releated to the MaxRowsForSearch setting of the session object.

Case 1:
a) Number of Subfolders extant: 600
b) MaxRowsForSearch: 500
c) Result: 512 folders returned (too many)

Case 2:
a) Number of Subfolders extant: 600
b) MaxRowsForSearch: 600
c) Result: 512 folders returned (too few)

Does anyone have any insight on this ?

Thanks.

Following is code that can be used to duplicate the issue. (My tests done with VB 6.0)

Dim pDMS As IManage.ManDMS
Dim pSession As IManage.IManSession
Dim pNewBrowseCmd As IMANEXT2Lib.IManBrowseCmd

Dim iContext As ContextItems
Dim arrSelectableItems() As imObjectType
Dim varOverflow As Variant
Dim i As Integer

Set pDMS = New ManDMS
Set pSession = pDMS.Sessions.Add("<>")
pSession.Login "<>", "<>"

ReDim arrSess(pDMS.Sessions.Count - 1) As NRTSession
For i = 0 To pDMS.Sessions.Count - 1
Set arrSess(i) = pDMS.Sessions.ItemByIndex(i + 1)
Next i

ReDim arrSelectableItems(0 To 2)
arrSelectableItems(0) = imObjectType.imTypeDocumentFolder
arrSelectableItems(1) = imObjectType.imTypeDatabase
arrSelectableItems(2) = imObjectType.imTypeDocumentSearchFolder

Set pNewBrowseCmd = New IManBrowseCmd
Set iContext = New ContextItems

' Add required values
iContext.Add "NRTDMS", pDMS
iContext.Add "SelectedNRTSessions", arrSess
iContext.Add "ParentWindow", Me.hWnd
iContext.Add "IManExt2.BrowseCmd.SelectableObjectTypes", arrrSelectableItems
iContext.Add "Overflow", varOverflow

pNewBrowseCmd.Initialize iContext
pNewBrowseCmd.Update
pNewBrowseCmd.Execute

Since this is an implicit search -- that is, a search that is done by the source code and not by calling the search methods directly by you -- try setting the MaxRowsNonSearch Property instead.

So for any implicit search, the max row (search or nonsearch as required) must be explicitly set ?

jny

Correct. They both are default to 512.

Thank you.

Do you have an example (VB) that documents context items for the NewProfileCmd ? From scanning other code snippets (for C++) I've tried to deduce the context items I need, but no luck.

I want to call the dialog from code, have the user complete the dialog and get the dialog properties.

Thanks again.

Going back to limiting the number of display results off of the browse dialog, it has turned out that the IManExt2.dll source does not respect the server api setting, the MaxRowNonSearch Property.

It looks like it should be an enhancement request.

The NewProfileDlg should be used instead if you're attempting to only collect profile info.

This could be addressed in more detail through DevSupport if you have the SDK.

Ok.

Thanks for your help on this.
