**UseView, PROTECTED**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

The **UseView **method notifies ABC Library objects that the files in the managed view whose opening was delayed by the LazyOpen property are about to be used.

**Implementation:**

The Init and Open methods call the UseView method. The UseView method calls FileManager.UseFile for each file in the managed view.

**Example:**

**ViewManager.Open PROCEDURE**

** CODE**

** IF ~SELF.Opened**

**  ASSERT(RECORDS(SELF.Order))**

**  SELF.UseView()                   !really open files**

**  OPEN(SELF.View)**

**  IF ERRORCODE()**

**   SELF.Primary.Me.Throw(Msg:ViewOpenFailed)**

**  END**

**  BUFFER(SELF.View,SELF.PageSize,SELF.PagesBehind,SELF.PagesAhead,SELF.TimeOut)**

**  SELF.Opened = 1**

**  SELF.ApplyOrder**

**  SELF.ApplyFilter**

** END**
