Repository.getElementSet

[christian81]

hi there,

how can i use this funcion if i want to get all available models in a repository?

i guess to use a list of id´s don´t help me because i don´t know how much models are available.

Thx

Code: [Select]

foreach(EA.Package actModel in Repository.Models)
{
   ....
}

should be do what you want.

thx for your answer.

if i want to use this code in VBA i should use

Code: [Select]


For each Pack In Repository.Models
{

}


right?

But actually i really want to now what this funcion Repository.getElementSet() is doing.

I found the description in the help directory:

" ....Returns a set of elements as a collection based on an input of element ID numbers in comma separated form. eg. GetElementSet("34,56,21,5").... "

Should i put this function in a loop in order to get a collection of these ID numbers? How it works?

Thx

GetElementSet can be used when you already know the id's of the elements you need, but you don't have the actual EA.Element objects yet.
(you can also pass an sql string to get those id's)

If i know the id´s of elements. how it´s work then...

Code: [Select]


Dim coll as New Collection
Dim i as integer

for i = 0 to 2
{
     coll.add item:=Repository.getElementSet("71,81,169",1)
}


i guess this kind of code is not the right thing...

thx

Repository.GetElementSet already returns a collection.
I don't see why you would request that multiple times.

May I ask what exactly you are trying to achieve?

oh no... you are right.. the return value is a collection...

I want to find out the easiest way to get all available elements in a repository. Is this the right way to use  this function?


Mycollection = Repository.getElementSet("71,81,169",1)

[Geert Bellekens]

Looks like a correct usage of getElementSet

now i got this....

Code: [Select]


Dim testCon as New collection

    Set MyCollection = Repository.GetElementSet("71,81,169", 1)

    For Each Item In MyCollection
    
         testCon.Add Item:=Item
    
    Next
