how can check if selected there? need @ least 'fact': selected or not (and nice know how read real settings).
i looked notesviewcolumn , did not find there, maybe it's undocumented feature :(
you can use dxl. dxl schema view columns includes attribute represents selected option totals.
i.e. set notesnotecollection object includes view design note. use notessession.createdxlexporter notesdxlexporter , process notesnotecollection, parsing xml locate column , value totals attribute.
