show advance find on folder selection

[Christoph Lutz]

Hi,

I have got a custom form that is published and used for 1 specific
public folder. I would like to be able to change the users toolbars when
clicking on this folder to display a button that would launch the
advanced find dialogue. This dialogue should also be set to search in
this folder by default. Is this possible or do I need to configure each
user's machine?

Thanks

Christoph

You should be able to use the Explorer.FolderSwitch event to handle the
changes you want to make.

While the Advanced Find dialog itself cannot be automated (except maybe with
a SendKeys kludge), it is possible to save Advanced FInd search criteria as
an .oss file. So one thing to explore would be creating such a file,
deploying it where each client can get to it, and shelling out to run that
file.
