Maybe weird problems with "TaggedValues.GetByName(...)"

[Shounbourgh]

Hi,
just a quick question.

Because the following vb-script snippet is NOT working for me (Error: Object requiered: "bitv"):

Code: [Select]

dim bitv as EA.TaggedValue
set bitv = element.TaggedValues.GetByName("BuiltInType")
bitv.Value = refBuiltIn.ElementGUID
bitv.Update()

i do it in the other way which is working:

Code: [Select]

for each tv in element.TaggedValues
if (tv.Name="BuiltInType") then
tv.Value = refBuiltIn.ElementGUID
tv.Update()
end if
next

Just wondering why the first snippet is not working ^^
Happy weekend.

Erik,

The GetByName only works on certain EA.Collections, and not on other.

I made it a habit of never using it and just looping the collection myself (which is probably what happens behind the scenes anyway)

Or you write your own wrapper. Tagged values may appear more than once with the same name which is why EA does not provide the GetByName here.

According to the documentation, it should work for element tagged value collections. So it is a little weird.

Maybe you need to send in a fully-qualified name rather than a simple name?
