GetNameList

Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.PropArea.GetNameList

VB6 Procedure

Function GetNameList(ByRef NumberNames As Long, ByRef MyName() As String, Optional ByVal PropType As Long = 0) As Long

Parameters

NumberNames

The number of area property names retrieved by the program.

MyName

This is a one-dimensional array of area property 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.

PropType

This optional value is 0, 1, 2 or 3, indicating the type of area properties included in the name list.

0 = All

1 = Shell

2 = Plane

3 = Asolid

Remarks

This function retrieves the names of all defined area properties of the specified type.

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

VBA Example

Sub GetAreaPropNames()

'dimension variables

Dim SapObject as cOAPI

Dim SapModel As cSapModel

Dim ret As Long

Dim NumberNames As Long

Dim MyName() As String
