accessing objects in component groups with VSTA

Dean Thomas

Hi,

 

example code:

gcTray = activeStation..GraphicComponents["FullTray_1_" + i];

This works fine as long as the graphic component is not part of a component group in Studio - how can I access the part if it is in a group?

When there are lots of them, it makes sense to use a group to keep the layout browser neat and tidy, and also to use a macro to index.

 

thanks.

Hi Dean,

You need to drill down the component hierarchy, something like this:
[code]GraphicComponentGroup gcg = station.GraphicComponents["name_of_group"] as GraphicComponentGroup;
GraphicComponent gc = gcg.GraphicComponents["name_of_component"];
[/code]
regards,
Johannes
