API - closing views

klavs — Wed, 21 Apr 2021 15:01:50 GMT

I'm creating alot of temporary views for screencaptures which I'm adding to the report using the API.

How do i close the temporary views using the API?

Hi klavs,
You can reuse the same view, pic your capture and reset the view for another.

One is enough.

Best Regards

Hey! The link @Rafal.Gaweda sent is not working for me. Can somebody direct to me to it? I am in the same situation as the author of the post!
I am creating the view and later trying to close it/delete it as it slows down Robot quite a lot with so many views:

var panelSelection = GetPanelSelection(panelGroupName);
var rsaView = _rProject.ViewMngr.CreateView(IRobotViewType.I_VT_MAPS_ON_FINITE_ELEMENTS) as IRobotView3;

var selectedCombinations = GetCombGroupSelList(_rStructure.Groups, combType);
var getObjectsInView = rsaView.Selection.Get(IRobotObjectType.I_OT_CASE);
getObjectsInView.FromText(selectedCombinations);
rsaView.Selection.Set(IRobotObjectType.I_OT_PANEL, panelSelection);

var scrCaptureName = $"{panelGroupName} - {resultName} ({combType})";
CaptureRsaView(rsaView, scrCaptureName);

rsaView.Visible = -1;
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(view);
rsaView = null;

Views can be closed like this:

Sub CreateViewAndCloseIt() Dim RobApp As IRobotApplication: Set RobApp = New RobotApplication Dim View As IRobotView3 With RobApp.Project.ViewMngr Set View = .CreateView(.GetView(1).Type) End With With View.Window .Activate .State = I_WS_MAXIMIZE '[...] .SendMessage &H10, 0, 0 End With Set RobApp = Nothing End Sub

Hey @Stephane.kapetanovic thank you! Was new RobotApplication created here on purpose? Or was it just for having access to ViewMngr for creating new View?
