 What's the best way of getting a handle on a document in an embedded view? 
I'm sure other developers have seen this sort of situation before. You have a document with an embedded view, and you want to be able to select one (or more?) documents on that embedded view and do something on them.

What's the neatest/cleanest/"bestest" way of doing this? (Actions on the embedded view don't count!)

Also, although not essential, would love to find a solution that works on several Notes versions (6.5/7/8).

Thanks!
Pedro

Sadly, actions on the embedded view is pretty much the answer. I also posted some Notes API code long ago (Windows-only) that might work in some circumstances:

The whole embedded view thing is a bit quirky though, so YMMV. I'd use view actions if I was you.

I have done a lot of research on this question in the past to build a SelectedDocuments property for a DominoView class within my .DominoFrmaework.  It seems if you cannot get a handle via NotesUIWorkspace.Currentview then the only way I have found is to use Julian's code.

Most of the times I use a view action like Julian mentioned but here's something that might work. Use an embedded editor to load the document that you select in the embedded view, on the embedded form's post open event write the unid or whatever you need to identify the document to notes.ini and then get the value from the 'main' document.

There are situations in which embedded view's actions won't do the trick as values from the parent document might be needed, so I like Vitor's solution the best (as per Chris Blatnick's "Google Mail Clone" if I'm not mistaken?) but never tried it with multiple documents.

There's another solution but it doesn't really work with more than one document so I'm normally not keen on using it: Basically you can set on the embedded view's "target frame (single click)" a @setprofilefield/@environment with the unid of the clicked document. Then retrieve it through @getprofilefield/@environment from the main doc.

Thanks all for the ideas!

For selecting individual documents in an embedded view, Richard Moy has a good solution to this at "http://dominointerface.blogspot.com/search?q=composite".
 
For multiple documents in an embedded view, see "http://www.lotus911.com/nathan/escape.nsf/d6plinks/NTFN-6Z3R8C".

Hope that helps
