GetNameList {Link Element}

GetNameList

Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.LinkElm.GetNameList

VB6 Procedure

Function GetNameList(ByRef NumberNames As Long, ByRef MyName() As String) As Long

Parameters

NumberNames

The number of link element names retrieved by the program.

MyName

This is a one-dimensional array of link element names. The MyName array is created as a dynamic, zero-based, array by the API user:

Dim MyName() as String

The array is dimensioned to (NumberNames 1) inside the SAP2000 program, filled with the names, and returned to the API user.

Remarks

This function retrieves the names of all defined link elements.

The function returns zero if the names are successfully retrieved; otherwise it returns nonzero.
