How to select a view inside a custom module form
As Views is a CTools Export UI based module, the correct way to load all views is by using the CTools Export function: ctool_export_crud_load_all()

Example

ctools_include('export');
$views = ctools_export_crud_load_all('views_view');
$options = array();
foreach ($views as $view_id =&gt; $view) {
  $options[$view_id] = $view-&gt;human_name;
}
