Formatting a view

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

You can specify particular fonts and table styles for views. This information can come from the HTML Prefix file or a cascading style sheet (CSS).

If a view has special formatting (for example to identify unread messages), items in a table are marked with a different CSS class; this allows the CSS in the HTML header to provide unique fonts, background, and other style information for those items.

Declare the view behavior

In this code example, we declare a view and specify some formatting information.

<STYLE>
.view
{   behavior:url(/exchweb/controls/ExchangeViewer.htc); 
    BACKGROUND-COLOR:window;
    overflow:auto;
    POSITION:relative;
    color:#000000;
    Z-INDEX:5;
}
</STYLE>

Implement the view behavior

In this code example we add the view to a Web page, specifying columns, along with filter and sorting. A data island "View1_XML' is used to populate the view.

<DIV id="View1" class="view"
   style="width:;height:"
   URL=http://myserver/public/myfolder
   storeType="1"s
   RowsPerPage="9999"
   viewDescriptor="View1_XML"
   viewClass="/exchweb/views/messages.xsl"
   onSelectItem="doselectitem(event)"
   onDblClick="doselectitem(event)"
>
    <XML id="View1_XML">
        <view
            xmlns:v="http://schemas.microsoft.com/schemas/view"
            xmlns:d="urn:uuid:c2f41010-65b3-11d1-a29f-00aa00c14882">
            <baseroot>/exchweb/img/</baseroot>
            <viewname>Normal</viewname>
            <column>
                <heading>Given Name</heading>
                <prop d:dt="string">urn:schemas:contacts:givenName</prop>
                <sortable>0</sortable>
                <bitmap>0</bitmap><multivalued>0</multivalued>
                <style></style>
            </column>
            <column>
                <heading>Middle Name</heading>
                <prop d:dt="string">urn:schemas:contacts:middlename</prop>
                <sortable>0</sortable>
                <bitmap>0</bitmap><multivalued>0</multivalued>
                <style></style>
            </column>
            <column>
                <heading>Surname</heading>
                <prop d:dt="string">urn:schemas:contacts:sn</prop>
                <sortable>0</sortable>
                <bitmap>0</bitmap><multivalued>0</multivalued>
                <style></style>
            </column>
            <filter id="filternode">
                "DAV:ishidden" = false AND "DAV:isfolder" = false AND "DAV:contentclass" = 'urn:content-classes:person'
            </filter>
            <orderby>
                <order><prop>urn:schemas:contacts:sn</prop><sort>ASC</sort></order>
            </orderby>
            <headerstyle>background-color:#c0c0c0</headerstyle>
            <rowstyle>background-color:#c0c0c0</rowstyle>
        </view>
    </XML>
</DIV>
