Remarks
Note
In a combination view, the primary pane is the view that remains when a details or secondary pane is closed. Usually the primary pane is at the top; however, the Timeline is a secondary pane, but it displays at the top. For example, with the Resource Sheet view, clicking Details on the View tab on the Ribbon shows the secondary Resource Form pane on the bottom. Clicking Timeline closes the Resource Form at the bottom and opens the Timeline pane at the top.
Using the ViewCopy method with no arguments displays the Save View dialog box, which enables the user to name the copy of the view.
Example
If the current view includes the Timeline in the top pane and the Gantt Chart in the bottom pane, where the Gantt Chart is the active pane, the following statement copies the Timeline view. After you execute the statement, the drop-down list of views includes Copy of Timeline in the Custom section.
