How do I get the History for a Custom Object on to a Cutom VF page?

I created a tabbed VF page for a custom object to replace the standard layout that we had. I used this piece of code to call all the related lists I needed.

 

 <apex:tab label="History" name="History" id="tabHistory">
        <apex:relatedList subject="{!Clients__c}" list="OpenActivities"/>
   </apex:tab>

 


The trouble I'm having is I don't know (nor ca I guess) the correct name for the standard History Object that appears in every page. Can anyone tell me what I should be putting in the list part of the code?

 

Thanks in advance.

This information can be located in your enterpise WSDL file.

 

The history object will be different for each object.  As an example, this is the section for leads from an enterpise WSDL file:

            <complexType name="LeadHistory">
                <complexContent>
                    <extension base="ens:sObject">
                        <sequence>
                        <element name="CreatedBy" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" type="ens:Name"/>
                        <element name="CreatedById" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" type="tns:ID"/>
                        <element name="CreatedDate" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" type="xsd:dateTime"/>
                        <element name="Field" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" type="xsd:string"/>
                        <element name="IsDeleted" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" type="xsd:boolean"/>
                        <element name="Lead" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" type="ens:Lead"/>
                        <element name="LeadId" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" type="tns:ID"/>
                        <element name="NewValue" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" type="xsd:anyType"/>
                        <element name="OldValue" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" type="xsd:anyType"/>
                        </sequence>
                    </extension>
                </complexContent>
            </complexType>

What is my enterpise WSDL file and where do I find it?
colemabcolemab

WSDL = Web Service Definition Language

 

This is an XML file that describes your system.  The enterprise one is strongly typed while the partner one is more generic.

 

Here is a link on generating the WSDL.
