IWbsFieldsRepository Interface

// Create and format a new free WBS field MYFIELD.
 
 // Create a field instance, a unique numeric ID will be generated automatically.
 IWbsField newWbsField = es.WbsFieldsRepository.CreateFieldInstance(WbsFieldKind.FreeField, "MYFIELD");
 newWbsField.FieldName = "My new field";
 newWbsField.SubHeader = "created by a macro";
 
 // Add the new field to the repository.
 es.WbsFieldsRepository.AddField(newWbsField);
 
 // Change the formatting of the field. These settings are user-specific.
 // Do it for all users now.
 // First, make the field visible because all newly added fields are hidden and placed at the very end.
 newWbsField.Formatting.HiddenByAdmin = false;
 newWbsField.Formatting.HiddenByUser = false;
 // Change some formatting.
 newWbsField.Formatting.ColumnWidth = 20;
 newWbsField.Formatting.Header1Formatting.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
 newWbsField.Formatting.Header2Formatting.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.DarkGreen;
 newWbsField.Formatting.DataFormatting.BackgroundColor = System.Drawing.Color.LightPink;
 
 // Apply the formatting changes to the repository (no UI repainting yet).
 es.WbsFieldsRepository.UpdateField(newWbsField, false, FieldUserScope.AllUsers);
 
 // Change the column position. Don't set newWbsField.Formatting.ColumnPosition directly, as this is unreliable.
 // Instead, use SetFieldPosition, which takes care of possible problems.
 // Place the field after Quantity column. Even if Quantity column is at a different position for each user,
 // the SetFieldPosition takes care of it and it places the field in all user profiles correctly.
 IWbsField quantityField = es.WbsFieldsRepository.GetFieldByMnemonic("WBS_Quantity");
 es.WbsFieldsRepository.SetFieldPosition(newWbsField,
     FieldPlacementPosition.AfterGivenField,
     quantityField,
     FieldUserScope.AllUsers);
 
 // Repaint the changes. Normally, if the position of an EXISTING field is changed, you must call slow CheckAndRepaint().
 // But since we have changed the position of a NEWLY ADDED field, we can use much faster RepaintWbsWithChanges().
 es.WbsFieldsRepository.RepaintWbsWithChanges();
