Check if form exists

[bmistiaen]

Hello,

I would like to create a method that takes a form name (string) as input,
and is able to tell me if that form exists or not.
How can this be done?
I know it cannot be done with the formstr() function.

boolean formExists(FormName _formName)
{
;
//<pseudocode>
if the form exists
then return true
else return false
//</pseudocode>
}

Here's a quick job that should help you out.

static void Job1(Args _args)
{
#AOT
TreeNode treeNode;
str formName = 'InventTable';
;

treeNode = TreeNode::findNode(strfmt('%1\\%2', #FormsPath, formName));

info(queryValue( treeNode ? true : false));
}

Thank you!
This works perfectly!
I guess there's no other way to do this, besides searching the AOT?
