public interface View

This interface represents a view of a set of project data that has been instantiated within an MS Project file. View data is instantiated when a user first looks at a view in MS Project. Each "screen" in MS Project, for example the Gantt Chart, the Resource Sheet and so on are views. If a user has not looked at a view (for example the Resource Usage view), information about that view will not be present in the MPP file.

Method Summary

Integer	getID() This method is used to retrieve the unique view identifier.
String	getName() This method is used to retrieve the view name.
ViewType	getType() Retrieves the view type.
