ViewFields Object (Outlook)
Represents the collection of ViewField objects in a view.
Version Information
Version Added: Outlook 2007
Remarks
The ViewFields collection represents the Outlook item properties available for display in the view. Use the Add method of the ViewFields collection to add a view field for the following objects derived from the View object:
In a table view, the order of ViewField objects in the ViewFields collection is not the same as the order that field columns are displayed in the table view. A workaround to obtain the column order is to parse the string returned by the View.XML property.
Example
The following Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example iterates through the ViewFields collection of the current TableView object, displaying the label and XML schema names of each ViewField object in the collection.
Private Sub DisplayTableViewFields()
Dim objTableView As TableView
Dim objViewField As ViewField
Dim strOutput As String
If Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentView.ViewType = _
olTableView Then
' Obtain a TableView object reference for the
' current table view.
Set objTableView = _
Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentView
' Iterate through the ViewFields collection for
' the table view, obtaining the label and the
' XML schema name for each field included in
' the view.
For Each objViewField In objTableView.ViewFields
With objViewField
strOutput = strOutput & .ColumnFormat.Label & _
" (" & .ViewXMLSchemaName & ")" & vbCrLf
End With
Next
' Display a dialog box containing the concatenated
' view field information.
MsgBox strOutput
End If
End Sub
