changing layout through SDk

Antonf26 · ‎08-09-2012

quick question - is it possible to change the layout file used programmatically?

I know the file name can be retrieved but i've failed at finding anything in the code reference that would allow me to change it, am I missing it?

Looks like it's exposed: Act.UI.LayoutDesigner.LayoutPicker, but isn't intended for consumption via the SDK.

Sorry.

fair enough, thank you. Saw that but couldn't really find a method to use anyway. It was only for a small optional request so no big deal.

Figured it out. Just in case anyone is interested, it can be done using UILayoutDesignerManager.

this gets all the available opportunity layouts (replace .opportunity with whatever type of layout you need.

LayoutFileInfo[] layoutarray = application.UILayoutDesignerManager.GetAvailableLayouts(LayoutType.opportunity);

when you have the LayoutFileInfo for the layout you want displayed, you can set it with

application.UILayoutDesignerManager.SetCurrentLayout(lfi);

here lfi is the LayoutFileInfo for the needed layout.
