Access

You access a view or folder through the Database object that contains it. There are two ways:

• To access a view or folder when you know its name or alias, use getView.
• To access all the views and folders in a database, use getViews.

To access a view or folder when you have a view entry, use getParent in ViewEntry.

Usage

A View object provides access to ViewEntry, ViewEntryCollection, and ViewNavigator objects:

• A ViewEntry object represents a row in the view and can be a document, category, or total. A document entry provides a handle to the associated Document object.
• A ViewEntryCollection object provides access to selected or all document ViewEntry objects. (Excluded are category and total ViewEntry objects.)
• A ViewNavigator object provides methods for navigating through selected or all ViewEntry and Document objects.
