Change View's Title

[Anonymous]

Hi! Is there a way to change the value of the title of View? I know the View class has Title property, but its read-only.

I've never used 'Title'. You might be looking for the UI View Property 'Title on Sheet' which uses the Built-In-Parameter 'BuiltInParameter.VIEW_DESCRIPTION'.

Used like:

string s = view.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.VIEW_DESCRIPTION).AsString();

or

view.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.VIEW_DESCRIPTION).Set("This view");

Thanks for the answer. I am about the value that is displayed in the Project Browser, for example "A01 - SheetName".

It seems that you are talking about sheet name rather than view name. Sheet name that you see in Project Browser consists of sheet number (BuiltInParameter.SHEET_NUMBER) and sheet name (BuiltInParameter.SHEET_NAME).

It is also interesting to note that SHEET_NAME can be duplicated whilst SHEET_NUMBER and VIEW_NAME can't

I believe also that when you set Element.Name for a sheet it will not allow you to duplicate even though you are setting the underlying SHEET_NAME (which can be duplicated). For non-sheets this is setting VIEW_NAME and I believe that is why i.e. low level validation logic missing the high level characteristics.
