Result of a model search

[Knut Paulsen]

Hi guys,

How do I get hold of the result of a model search? I want to do stuff to the elements I find.

The repository has a RunModelSearch method that displays the result in EA.
The Project Class has a RunModelSearch where you can select to not display result in EA. If I select not to, where does the result go?

Cheers Knut

Knut,

I think RunModelSearch only show the results in EA and never returns anything.

What you can do is either use
GetElementsByQuery (string QueryName, string SearchTerm)
or use
GetElementSet (string IDList, long Options)
The latter allows you to pass an SQL search query returning elementID's, if you use "2" as the option parameter.

Thanks Geert,

Exactly what I was looking for :-)

How did I not see that one?

cheers
