Hi all,

How do you rename a workbook layer?

I know you can rename de window short name with

wkspage.Rename("Short name");

and the long name with

wkspage.Label= "Label name";

I would like to change the name of a layer i.e. what you can retrieve with

wks.GetName(_certain_string_variable_to_store_name_in_);

Thanks in advance

Try something like ..

 void RenameWKS()
      {
      	WorksheetPage wP=Project.Pages(-1);
      	Worksheet Wks =wP.Layers(0);
      	if(Wks.IsValid()==true)
      	{
      		Wks.SetName("NewName");
      	}
      }

Thanks, worked like a charm.

I couldn't find it in the documentation, because I did not search the class tree at the OriginObject level, only to the Layer and PageBase level.

It would be nice if the people at OriginLab would also included all functions inherited from parents when you search the Help file for the contents of a class like Worksheet or WorksheetPage.
