GetPoints {Link Object}

GetPoints

Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.LinkObj.GetPoints

VB6 Procedure

Function GetPoints(ByVal Name As String, ByRef Point1 As String, ByRef Point2 As String) As Long

Parameters

Name

The name of a defined link object.

Point1

The name of the point object at the I-End of the specified link object.

Point2

The name of the point object at the J-End of the specified link object.

Remarks

This function retrieves the names of the point objects at each end of a specified link object. If names of the two point objects are the same, the specified link object is a one-joint link object.

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