@command([ViewSwitchForm]) can be used with a parameter and without. Here are a few tips on the use of the command.





@command([ViewSwitchForm]) is usually used with a parameter and is used for Print Previewing a document.

eg:

@command([ViewSwitchForm];"PrintVersion") where PrintVersion is the name of a form that has been crafted for an A4 page.

 

You cannot easily use @command([ViewSwitchForm]) with forms that are stored forms.

One way around this is to @compose the PrintVersion form and make the form and fields inherit the values from the original document.

Make the PrintVersion form have a SaveOptions field with value "0" to prevent the form from being saved.

Put the @compose action in a view not on the form as existing documents will not show the new action as they already have the stored form inside.

 

In a web browser you can mimic a @command([ViewSwitchForm]) by pointing to a document in a view that has a form formula set to the PrintVersion form.

 

@command([ ViewSwitchForm ]) should not be used for  security, ie hiding fields.

Web Services Platform Architecture: Soap, WSDL, WS-Policy, WS-Addressing, WS-Bpel, WS-Reliable Messaging and More by Francisco Curbera, Frank Leymann, Tony Storey, Donald Ferguson, Sanjiva Weerawarana
Other books claim to present the complete Web services platform architecture, but this is the first one I've seen that really does. The authors have been intimately involved in the creation of the architecture. Who better to write this book?
