Syntax

Copy

[SerializableAttribute]
public abstract class ViewBase : DrawingObject, 
	IHasChildren, IAxisAlignedBoundingBox

Public MustInherit Class ViewBase
	Inherits DrawingObject
	Implements IHasChildren, IAxisAlignedBoundingBox

The ViewBase type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	Attributes	Gets or sets the attributes of the current object. Only attributes of the same type as the object are allowed. (Inherited from DrawingObject.)
	ExtremaCenter	Gets the view extrema center.
	FrameOrigin	The vector from the view origin to the frame origin.
	Height	The height of the view frame in paper coordinates.
	IsSheet	Gets a value indicating whether the container view is the drawing's sheet.
	Origin	The view origin coordinates in the sheet.
	QueryReturnValue	Status information about the latest database operation (select, insert, modify, delete). (Inherited from DatabaseObject.)
	Width	The width of the view frame in paper coordinates.

Methods

	Name	Description
	Delete	Deletes the view and its children objects from the database. (Overrides DatabaseObjectDelete.)
	GetAllObjects	Gets all the objects and their children objects in the view.
	GetAllObjects(Type)	Gets all the objects and their children objects in the view that are of a certain type.
	GetAllObjects(Type)	Gets all the objects and their children objects in the view that are of certain types.
	GetAxisAlignedBoundingBox	The view size in paper coordinates.
	GetDoubleUserProperties(DictionaryString, Double)	Retrieves all double user properties for the object with the given list of names. (Inherited from DatabaseObject.)
	GetDoubleUserProperties(ListString, DictionaryString, Double)	Retrieves all double user properties for the object with the given list of names. (Inherited from DatabaseObject.)
	GetDrawing	Gets the drawing where the drawing object is. (Inherited from DrawingObject.)
	GetIntegerUserProperties(DictionaryString, Int32)	Retrieves all integer user properties for the object with the given list of names. (Inherited from DatabaseObject.)
	GetIntegerUserProperties(ListString, DictionaryString, Int32)	Retrieves all integer user properties for the object with the given list of names. (Inherited from DatabaseObject.)
	GetModelObjects	Gets the drawing model objects based on given model object identifier. If used from sheet model objects from all views are returned.
	GetObjects	Gets the objects in the view. Does not return child objects (single dimensions, grid lines, views).
	GetObjects(Type)	Gets the objects in the view that are of certain types. Does not return child objects (single dimensions, grid lines, views).
	GetOriginalDrawing	Gets the drawing on which the view was originally created. @see DrawingObject.GetDrawing() for retrieving the current drawing the object resides on.
	GetRelatedObjects	Gets the related objects of the current object. (Inherited from DrawingObject.)
	GetRelatedObjects(Type)	Gets the related objects of the current object that are of certain types. (Inherited from DrawingObject.)
	GetStringUserProperties(DictionaryString, String)	Retrieves all string user properties for the object with the given list of names. (Inherited from DatabaseObject.)
	GetStringUserProperties(ListString, DictionaryString, String)	Retrieves all string user properties for the object with the given list of names. (Inherited from DatabaseObject.)
	GetUserProperty(String, Double)	Gets a double property from the drawing object. The object has to be in a drawing before the method can be used. (Inherited from DatabaseObject.)
	GetUserProperty(String, Int32)	Gets an integer property from the drawing object. The object has to be in a drawing before the method can be used. (Inherited from DatabaseObject.)
	GetUserProperty(String, String)	Gets a string property from the drawing object. The object has to be in a drawing before the method can be used. (Inherited from DatabaseObject.)
	GetView	Gets the view where the drawing object is. (Inherited from DrawingObject.)
	Insert	Inserts the view to the database. (Overrides DatabaseObjectInsert.)
	IsEqual	Compares the current object with an object of the same type. (Overrides DrawingObjectIsEqual(Object).)
	IsSameDatabaseObject	Returns true if the current object and the given object are referencing the same database object. (Inherited from DatabaseObject.)
	Modify	Modifies the view in the database. (Overrides DatabaseObjectModify.)
	Select	Selects the view from the database. (Overrides DatabaseObjectSelect.)
	SetUserProperty(String, Double)	Sets a double property for the drawing object. The object has to be in a drawing before the method can be used. (Inherited from DatabaseObject.)
	SetUserProperty(String, Int32)	Sets an integer property for the drawing object. The object has to be in a drawing before the method can be used. (Inherited from DatabaseObject.)
	SetUserProperty(String, String)	Sets a string property for the drawing object. The object has to be in a drawing before the method can be used. (Inherited from DatabaseObject.)
	ToString	Changes the string presentation of the drawing object. (Inherited from DrawingObject.)
