Formatting column headings in a view/folder? (Question from a reader)
Category IBM/Lotus
Hi, everyone... I got a question from a blog reader who is trying to do some formatting of column headings in a folder design. I don't know of an answer to this, but Show and Tell Thursday has proven to me that the group knowledge is greater than any single person's input. Can anyone offer up any suggestions, hacks, what have you?
I am trying to organize a fairly complicated folder, particularly the column headings. I have column headings that have up to 3 rows of information and I know how to specify multiple rows for headings in the folder properties, but I am at a loss to figure out how to have the headings break where I want them. Here is an example:
To achieve this look, I need a couple of carriage returns before the value of "Marketer" in the column heading, and one before "Closing". By default, Notes starts everything on the top line, which has terrible visual appeal. My actual requirement for this folder is far more complex, which is why I am not using a view and why I need to control my headings more tightly. Is there any way you know of to put these line feeds into the text of the column headings?

In re-reading the original post, I realized that my solution didn't address the real issue. The technique is the same though. The first column title would look like this:
[<br><br>]Marketer

# of[<br>]Open[<br>]Quotes
You can also reference Shared Resources image files like this:

Dim session As New NotesSession
Dim db As NotesDatabase
Dim view As NotesView
Dim col As NotesViewColumn
Set db = session.CurrentDatabase
Set view = db.GetView("viewname")
Set col = view.Columns(0)
col.Title = Chr$(13) + "Testing"
