The OnSwitchView event also occurs when a form is first opened.

Example

In the following example, the OnSwitchView event handler is used to check the name of the current view. If the view has the name "Archive Customer," data is added to the form's underlying XML document.

JScript 
  function XDocument::OnSwitchView eventObj)
{
   var oDate = new Date();

if (XDocument.View.Name == "Archive Customer")
{
var oNotesNode = XDocument.DOM.
selectSingleNode("/Customers/CustomerInfo/Notes");
var oDivNode = XDocument.DOM.
createNode(1, "div", "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml");


  oDivNode.text = "Note recorded " + oDate.toString();
  oNotesNode.appendChild(oDivNode);



}
}
