If you open in edit mode you get this

Se examinar o fonte da página veremos que o campo combobox foi renderizado como um texto e tabelas

Looking on the source of the page (document in read mode) the combobox field was rendered like a string  with a table

Em modo edição o campo é renderizado como um elemento select:

The source of edit mode the combobox field was rendered as a select.

The chalenge: Create a more consistent view of the combobox element when the document is open in read mode.

The Solution: Attention ->   I don´t know if this is the best solution but it works.

I create a class to modify the rendering of the combo box a custom renderer (based on this blog post).
When the document is opened in edit mode the class render the input field and when in edit mode it render the combobox.

The custom renderer  code:

Migrating messages from Domino to Google using IMAP

  • 20 Feb, 2022

It's only for messages. No calendar migration Imapsync command is a tool allowing incremental and recursive imap transfers from one mailbox to another. If you don't understand the previous sentence, it's normal, it's pedantic computer-oriented jargon. All folders are transferred, recursively, meaning the whole folder hierarchy is taken, all messages in them, and all message flags (\Seen\Answered \Flagged etc.) are synced too. Imapsync reduces the amount of data transferred by not transferring a given message if it already resides on the destination side. Messages that are on the destination side but not on the source side stay as they are. Get the tool here  https://github.com/imapsyn

Notes / Domino is forever

  • 04 Feb, 2021

Yesterday it seemed like it would be an ordinary working day but a client called me informing about the expiration of a certifier. It would be normal to resolve the problem with the re-certification procedures but it was a special certificate. This client has been using Notes/Domino since version 4.0.  When I saw the certificate creation date 05/09/1996 I was impressed. This customer uses the environment for mail and applications for 25 years!. How times flies I started working for this client in 1999 by installing the first R5 server (5.0.4) on an IBM Netfinity 5500 Server running Windows NT 4.0. The hardware is gone, the operating system and the administrators who created this certifer
