VB6 Procedure

Function SetDblChannel_1(ByVal Name As String, ByVal 
 MatProp As String, ByVal t3 As Double, ByVal t2 As Double, ByVal tf As

 Double, Optional ByVal Color As Long = -1, Optional ByVal Notes As String

Parameters

Name

The name of an existing or new frame section property. 
 If this is an existing property, that property is modified; otherwise, 
 a new property is added.

MatProp

The name of the material property for the section.

t3

The section depth. [L]

t2

The total width of the section, that is, the sum of 
 the widths of each flange plus the back-to-back distance. [L]

tf

The flange thickness. [L]

tw

The web thickness. [L]

dis

The back-to-back distance between the channels. [L]

FilletRadius

The fillet radius. [L]

Color

The display color assigned to the section. If Color 
 is specified as -1, the program will automatically assign a color.

Notes

The notes, if any, assigned to the section.

GUID

The GUID (global unique identifier), if any, assigned 
 to the section. If this item is input as Default, the program assigns 
 a GUID to the section.

Remarks

This function initializes a double channel-type frame 
 section property. If this function is called for an existing frame section 
 property, all items for the section are reset to their default value.

The function returns zero if the section property is 
 successfully initialized; otherwise it returns a nonzero value.
