OpenViewIDByAlias Method
The OpenViewIDByAlias method returns the ID of the view with the specified alias.
Syntax
object.OpenViewIDByAlias
(
i_Alias As String,
i_NameFallback As Boolean = False
) As Number
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
i_Alias |
Alias of the view to find. |
i_NameFallback |
TRUE to use the view name if not found by alias; FALSE otherwise. |
Return Value
The return value is the ID of the view.
Remarks
If the i_NameFallback parameter has a TRUE value and the specified alias cannot be found, the method attempts to find a view with a display name equal to the i_Alias parameter value.
If you are developing scripts or macros that use the OpenViewIDByAlias method, you should define the specified name as an alias for the view. Although you can use the display name of the form, the method will not work if the display name is changed. If a Forms tool is being modified to work with different locales, the display name may be changed, but the alias should be unchanged.
