IndexOutOfRangeException	This exception is thrown when the numeric value that is passed in does not match the 1 based array.

Remarks

When the id parameter is passed as a string, it specifies the title of a view. When id is passed as a Long, it specifies the 1 based index of the view in a given frame. The index value depends on the Workspace UI Preferences settings:

The index is based on the left to right progression of tabs. The user can rearrange this order by dragging tabs with the mouse.
The index is determined by the order in which the Windows are opened. The user cannot change this order.
There is only one view per frame.
