Views Object (Outlook)
Contains a collection of all View objects in the current folder.
Remarks
Use the Views property of the Folder object to return the Views collection. Use Views(index),where index is the object's name or position within the collection, to return a single View object.
Use the Add method of the views collection to add a new view to the collection.
Use the Remove method to remove a view from the collection.
Example
The following example returns a View object of type olTableView called Table View. Before running this example, make sure a view by the name 'Table View' exists.
Sub GetView()
'Returns a view called Table View
Dim objName As NameSpace
Dim objViews As Views
Dim objView As View
Set objName = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set objViews = objName.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Views
'Return a view called Table View
Set objView = objViews.Item("Table View")
End Sub
The following example adds a new view of type olIconView in the user's Notes folder.
Note
The Add method will fail if a view with the same name already exists.
Sub CreateView()
'Creates a new view
Dim objName As NameSpace
Dim objViews As Views
Dim objNewView As View
Set objName = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set objViews = objName.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderNotes).Views
Set objNewView = objViews.Add(Name:="New Icon View Type", _
ViewType:=olIconView, SaveOption:=olViewSaveOptionThisFolderEveryone)
End Sub
The following example removes the above view, "New Icon View Type", from the collection.
Sub DeleteView()
'Deletes a view from the collection
Dim objName As NameSpace
Dim objViews As Views
Dim objNewView As View
Set objName = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set objViews = objName.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderNotes).Views
objViews.Remove ("New Icon View Type")
End Sub
