Enumerate UI controls in a view
Is there an API that will allow me to enumerate all the UI controls in a view. I wish to get the IDs, names, values, etc. Thanks Ralph

API_GetSchema will provide you the tables, field IDs, and field names.

Then combined with your normal Queries to get the values you are looking for.
The form elements can be captured and edited, but only using a virtual machine. Its pretty tricky, and you would need to have a strong use case for the need to pull/manipulate that information.

- AWESOME, thanks. I will check it out.
- I just tried that but unfortunately it doesn't get all the data. I am specifically interested in Section Heading information.
- Section Headings on a form are not part the schema, but part of the service, and the only way to pull that is by pulling the logs when you submit the request to edit the form.
i.e. ?a=DformProps&dfid=2
I have to ask, Why do you need the form headings via the API? - So this is my query

But I am still not getting the sections headers and I am not exactly sure what I am looking at.
Why do we need this?
We run reports against the data in QB but I can't manage what I want in the reports while in QB, so I am creating a web site that will extract all the QB data and let me manages what data I want in it and what data I do not.
I can't make QB do what I need it to do with JS,
Also what do you mean by "pulling the logs"
