Setting the "Title on Sheet" parameter of a view

[J33C316]

How do I set the "Title on Sheet" parameter of a view? It's not a BuiltInParameter like I expected.

This post no longer works either. Thanks for your help.

Hi,

You could try to use the LookupParameter Method to get the "Title on Sheet" parameter of a view.

Something like this

view.LookupParameter("Title on Sheet")

Thanks but I’m trying to set it not get it. I know it’s blank currently.

Easy, title on sheet is in fact the VIEW_DESCRIPTION BIP.

 uidoc.ActiveView.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.VIEW_DESCRIPTION).Set("Hello World");

Well It all depends what you want to set as "Title on Sheet" value.

So if you want to set the view name you can do something like this

view.LookupParameter("Title on Sheet").Set(view.Name);

You can use String methods like Substring or Replace to change your view name.
