Sales::GetFieldName
 
Gets the field name.
 
BSTR GetFieldName (
    enum eSalesFld eFieldID
)
 
Parameters
eFieldID
[in] Identifier of the field, e.g. salfSysNum (C++) or eSalesFld.salfSysNum (C# / VB.NET).
 
Warning: DO NOT hardcode numeric values for field identifiers. The numeric value of a field (i.e. the enum value) can change from one version to the next. Always use the enum or use GetFieldID
Warning: DO NOT assume the order of fields will remain the same (do not calculate relative fields). salfSysNum + 15 may not be valid or the same in future versions.
Remark: In VBS, this field identifier enumerations cannot be used! You should use GetFieldID to get a valid field identifier.
Remark: Within an object, field identifiers will not change as long as the object persists. You can obtain a value with GetFieldID once and then continue using the value. However, note that custom calculation fields are unique per dossier; even if they have the same field name, they may not have the same numeric value in all dossiers.
 
Return value
A BSTR containing the technical name of the requested field.
