Examples: ItemName property (NotesViewColumn - LotusScript®)

  1. This script gets the programmatic name of the first column of the By Category view in the database YAHOO.NSF. For example, if the first column displays the value of the Categories field and the view designer does not change the programmatic name, the ItemName property returns "Categories."
    Sub Initialize
      Dim db As New NotesDatabase( "", "yahoo.nsf" )
      Dim view As NotesView
      Dim column As NotesViewColumn
      Dim item As String
      Set view = db.GetView( "By Category" )
      Set column = view.Columns( 0 )
      item = column.ItemName
    End Sub
  2. This script gets the name of the programmatic name of the second column of the By Category view in the database .YAHOO.NSF For example, if the second column displays the value of a simple function or a formula and the view designer does not change the programmatic name, the ItemName property might return "$1." If the view designer changes the name to "Column 2," the ItemName property returns "Column 2."
    Sub Initialize
      Dim db As New NotesDatabase( "", "yahoo.nsf" )
      Dim view As NotesView
      Dim column As NotesViewColumn
      Dim item As String
      Set view = db.GetView( "By Category" )
      Set column = view.Columns( 1 )
      item = column.ItemName
    End Sub
