Hello,
I have a lookup form control which included tables and views.
I need to get the datasource and field from the properties of view field if the view was selected from the control.
I didn't found how to determine whether the value is a View or a table.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Hi akshi,
There is also a specific method on the DictTable class called isDataEntity(). Technically, a view is created for a data entity. That explains why the method isView() is returning True for data entities.
Hi André Arnaud de Calavon,
Thanks a lot for your help.
I found that the method isView() of DictTable class.
It worked fine for checking if it is a table or view.
Please, note that this method also returns True for Data Entity.
Hi Akshi,
You can use the DictTable and SysDictTable classes where you can use e.g. the method is View() to find out if the datasource is a view.
Hi Akshi, I haven't tested it but since this article is looping menu items, you can probably leverage it to find if it's table or view.
