Example

This code snippet shows how to get the captions, names, and values of the BlockAttribute definitions.

COM native C++ 

void CAddinDumpManager::DumpAttributeDefinitions( CStdioFile& fileOutput, LPCWSTR tabStr, IBlockDefinitionPtr blkDefs )
{
    CString strPrint;
   
    _variant_t pVariantArrayAD = blkDefs->GetAttributeDefinitions();
    if( V_VT( &pVariantArrayAD ) != VT_EMPTY )
    {
        IAttributeDefinitionPtr *blkAttDefs = NULL;
        int countOfAttDefs = 0;
        TypeConverter::convertVariantArrayToPtrArray<IAttributeDefinitionPtr, IAttributeDefinition>( pVariantArrayAD, blkAttDefs, countOfAttDefs );

        strPrint.Format( L"\tAttribute definitions (%d):\r\n", countOfAttDefs );
        fileOutput.WriteString( strPrint );

        if( blkAttDefs && countOfAttDefs > 0)
        {
            for( int i = 0; i < countOfAttDefs; ++i )
            {
                bstr_t AttDefCaption= blkAttDefs[i]->GetCaption();
                strPrint.Format( L"\tCaption: %s\r\n", AttDefCaption.operator const wchar_t*() );
                fileOutput.WriteString( strPrint );

                bstr_t AttDefName= blkAttDefs[i]->GetName();
                strPrint.Format( L"\tName: %s\r\n", AttDefName.operator const wchar_t*() );
                fileOutput.WriteString(strPrint);

                bstr_t AttDefValue= blkAttDefs[i]->GetValue();
                strPrint.Format( L"\tValue: %s\r\n", AttDefValue.operator const wchar_t*() );
                fileOutput.WriteString( strPrint );

            }                           
            delete[] blkAttDefs;
        }
        else
            fileOutput.WriteString( L"\tERROR GetAttributeDefinitions\r\n" );
    }
    else
        fileOutput.WriteString( L"\tERROR GetAttributeDefinitions\r\n" );
}

 

 

This code snippet shows how to get a BlockAttribute definition, if the selected object is an IAttributeDefinition object.

COM native C++

        long selCount = dsSelManager->GetSelectedObjectCount( dsSelectionSetType_Current );
        strPrint.Format( L"Selected objects: (%d):\r\n", selCount );
        fileOutput.WriteString( strPrint );

        if( selCount > 0 )
        {
            for( long i = 0; i < selCount; ++i )
            {
                dsObjectType_e retObjType;
                IDispatchPtr selObj = dsSelManager->GetSelectedObject( dsSelectionSetType_Current, i, &retObjType );


                //If selected object is a BlockAttribute definition
                if( dsAttributeDefinitionType == retObjType )
                {

                IAttributeDefinitionPtr AttDefs( selObj );
