Accessing view properties from DXL

Hello every one,

i have a question about how to handle views in doors dxl. In detail I wrote a script which iterates over views in a module and then over all columns in the current selected view. Then the script changes a property of the columns. after that I save the current view with the following comand.

save(v) // v is a hande of type View and contains the current view

__________________________________________________________________________

for Name in views(m) do
 {
  compare =  findPlainText(Name,viewCode,offset,matchLenght,true);
  if(compare)
  {
   v = view(Name);
   load(m, v)
   for c in m do
   {
    if(cnt > 1) backgroundColor(c, attributeName);
    cnt++;
   }
   save(v);
  }
 }

And this is where the truble begins, for what ever reason the script is reseting some view properties in the Remember Settings. Which can be found in the "View -> Manage Views" Tab. And I dont't know why and how this can happen. I hope some one can tell me a work around for this.

Here is a Picture of the Remember settings bevor I run the script.

And here is a picture after I run the script.

(To prevent missunderstandings the picture with the unchecked box "current object" is the picture before running the script)

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards

Patrick

not sure whether this helps here, but in DXL, it is never a good idea to iterate over several objects (here: views) and modify them at the same time.

So, it might help if you first create a Skip List of all view names, then iterate over all items of the Skip List.

Thank you for your post.

I tried out your idea, to create a skip list fill it and then iterate over it, but sadly it didn't helped. the "current Object" property is checked after I executed the script as I mentioned in my opening post.
