Hi,

Is there a system action that does the same thing as runtime.getAllLayouts();

I just want an array with all the layout-names.

At this moment I do it this way, and it works, but I am just wondering if this can be done without using scripting:

let larray = runtime.getAllLayouts();

let a = runtime.objects.Array.getFirstInstance();

a.setSize(larray.length,1,1,);

for (let i = 0; i < larray.length; i++){

a.setAt(larray.name,i-1);

}

Thanks!

(I posted this topic in 'How do I...? and not in scripting because I have a question about doing something without scripting. )

I don't think there is.

You can probably do it like so with events:

1. Set global var "gettingLayouts" true

2. Access the current layout name with the LayoutName expression and write it into the array

3. Use the "go to next layout" action

4. repeat until you run out of layouts, set "gettingLayouts" false, then go back to the first layout

Quite convoluted and ugly, I'd not do it this way. Simpler would be to not dynamically create that array I suppose, but that means you have to update it by hand every time you add/remove a layout.
