Solidworks API - Is view empty

[NirVidP]

Using Solidworks API, how can I find a drawing view is empty?

Same is the case with Sketch object.

I have searched the help file but can't find anything relevant.

I don't know how to do it in API, but this is an empty view.

First you need to get the view object. Usually done by traversing views with GetFirstView and GetNextView. Then see if RootDrawingComponent or GetCorresponding come back empty.

Hello, thanks for your replies.

I am not a regular / experience SolidWorks user.

I spent some time on my problem and realized that I had unnecessarily tried to generalize the problem.

Here is more specific problem.

The sheet view can contain annotations or even geometry. So I wanted to check if the sheet view had any of such objects.
The RootDrawingComponent represents the model connected to view, hence it will always be nothing for sheet or Custom view even if they contain objects.
