Re: .NET API CreateField example using VBS (UNCLASSIFIED)
Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE Thank you all for your responses. It seems the CreateField option may not be the most straight forward approach. Your responses have given me some other ideas though.

Most wrapper-APIs has concentrated on reading/writing data to forms, and as a second priority to read information about forms/fields/filter etc. The third priority has been to implement the creation of admin-objects in the server. One solution could be to copy the field with ARGetField from a source form, and then create a duplicate in the other forms. This should work if the field does not belong to ANY view. If the field is supposed to be visible, you will need to handle different view-ids on different forms in the ARDisplayInstanceList. Another favourite of mine is to export the form definitions to a file (def or xml), manipulate it (add your field to the forms), and finally reimport it.

Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE All, Does anyone have a VBS example of the syntax required to use the CreateField method, and if possible setting the properties of the new field, using the .NET API? I need to loop through many forms and add the same field and it seems this might be the most efficient way.

You may want to take a look at driver.exe to do this. You will find information about in the C API Reference manual.

Re: .NET API CreateField example using VBS (UNCLASSIFIED)
.NET API does include a FieldLabelChanger C# program as source. As the name indicates, this program allows for changing labels of fields on a selected view of a selected form. Internally it does a SetField API method call after altering a display property (label). You will get sufficient hints about how to go about the CreateField usage I hope. As said this is in C#. And .NET API itself, while supports COM usage (thus in VBS), it is better used in .NET environments (C#, VB.Net) - so prefer to use it in those environments if at all possible, especially for heavy duty usage like creating/manipulating form/field definitions.
