view schedule appearance - grid lines, outline, show headers and show title

[sobon.konrad]

I have been looking through ViewSchedule API and can't seem to be able to find any methods to control:

• Grid Lines
• Outline
• Show Title
• Show Headers

I was able to locate methods for Title Text, header Text and Body Text types, but nothing is exposed for those other properties. Is it just me missing it, or are those methods really not available yet? 

I know I can hide an entire "header" section by accessing TableSectionData but I am not looking for that. I am looking for API methods to do the same thing that UI does:

Thank you for all suggestions in advance.

This request has come out before, I am sorry to say that there is currently no API access to either of these functionalities.

We already have a wish list item filed as CF-1730 [API wish: toggle Grid Lines and Outline settings in schedule sheet list appearance -- 09939793]  Please make a note of this number for future reference.

You can check a previous forum post asking for similar functionality and our Engineers are aware on it.

Thank you for your collaboration I hope this helps.

Best,

This is what i used... Hope it helps.
