Trying to set Integer or Real as PropertyType

[JoostN]

Hello,

I try to set the PropertyType of a new Part to Real or Integer, something I can do in the GUI using the dropdown for "Type", which contains Boolean, Integer, Real, ...
I assume that PropertyType for an element expect an ID, but I don't know how to find such ID for these primitive types.

Any idea? Thanks!

There is no ID for primitive types. They only have a name.

The do have some special GUID IIRC....

There is no ID for primitive types. They only have a name.

Since the PropertyTypeName is readonly, is there any other way to assign Real or Integer then?

They are coded as special GUIDs in t_object.pdata1 (equals MiscData[0]). Taken from my Inside book p. 9 the can be one of

{EABOOL00-B653-4f3c-A010-30205D67F5F5}
{EAINT000-B653-4f3c-A010-30205D67F5F5}
{EAREAL00-4339-434b-BC17-A5E1FDC63F6C}
{EASTRING-B653-4f3c-A010-30205D67F5F5}
{EAUNAT00-B653-4f3c-A010-30205D67F5F5}

And now guess...

Perfect, setting PDATA1 to the correct GUID did the job!
Thanks a lot!
