SetView()

Summary

Sets the current view (and the current layer).

 

Syntax

SetView(string view_name)

 

Argument	Contents
view_name	The new current view

 

Notes

• If the input view is mappable to a layer, SetView() sets the current layer to the corresponding layer. If the input view is not mappable, it sets the current layer to null.

• If view_name is null, SetView() does nothing and returns immediately.

Example

old_view = GetView()

SetView("Sales")

          // Do some stuff on the Sales view...

SetView(old_view)
