Hide view actions in action bar if no document selected in view in lotus notes

how do I hide actions in the action bar if the view is empty?

I need it for example for actions like "edit" or "open". This makes only sense to show these actions when I have already selected one document from the view.

You can achieve this by enabling the view option "Evaluate actions for every document change"

Evaluate actions for every document change

Additionally you have to set a hide-when formula for every action. For example you can check the document form field to detect if a document has been selected. The hide when can look like this: Hide action if formula is true: Form != "document" (if your form name is document).

One caveat is that the action bar will not be hidden consistantly - it seems to depend on the evaluation on view open. So it can happen that the view action bar will not be displayed and later be displayed (or vice versa).
