View.ConvertToIndependent

Method

Description:
Convert the dependent view to independent.

Remarks:
This method can be only applied to a dependent view. A dependent view can be created from another view using method View.Duplicate(ViewDuplicateOption.AsDependent). Dependent views have a valid primary view element ID that can be obtained via method View.GetPrimaryViewId(); Independent views have InvalidElementId as their primary view ID.
