1. Modify BitAddr of variable, 2. edit SubItems of variable

[professor_hubert_farnsworth]

Hello,
I have two questions:
1. how can I edit the BitAddr of a variable (see remark in code below)?
2. how to access properties of Variable.SubItem?
i.e. zVar.SubItemName(inc) is working, but zVar.SubItem(inc).Name throws an exception saying: "Der Objektverweis wurde nicht auf eine Objektinstanz festgelegt."
same with zVar.SubItem(inc).BitAddr = 1;

please look at this code:

zenOn.IVariable zVar = myVariables.CreateArrayVarEx(VarName, zDriver, kanalType, zVarType, editedStartIdx, idxEnd, 0, 0, 0, true);
            if (zVar != null)
            {
                zVar.NetAddr = netAddress;
                zVar.DataBlock = dataBlock;
                zVar.Offset = Offset;

                //setting BitAddress ist not possible, Exception = "Beim Aufruf einer COM-Komponente wurde ein HRESULT E_FAIL-Fehler zurückgegeben."
                zVar.BitAddr = BitAddr;

                for (int inc = 0; inc < zVar.SubItemCount(); inc++)
                {
                    zVar.ActivateSubItem(inc);
                }
            }

Hi,

I think you need to define the "zVar" as "IVariable" object that pointing to the created variable. And also the arguments for "myVariables.CreateArrayVar()" method need to be correct.

You can try as below. I got it worked on my workspace script.


zenOn.IVariables myVariables = this.myZenWork.ActiveDocument.Variables();

myVariables.CreateArrayVarEx(VarName, zDriver, kanalType, zVarType, editedStartIdx, idxEnd, 0, 0, true, false, false);

zenOn.IVariable zVar = myVariables.Item(VarName);

if (zVar != null)
{
zVar.NetAddr = netAddress;
zVar.DataBlock = dataBlock;
zVar.Offset = Offset;

for (int inc = 0; inc < zVar.SubItemCount(); inc++)
{
zVar.ActivateSubItem(inc);
zVar.SubItem(inc).BitAddr = inc;
bitname[inc] = zVar.SubItem(inc).Name;
}
}

Hi huybbc,

Now it is working. Hooray!
My code was mostly correct (I'm using zenOn V6.51, maybe the parameters of CreateArrayVarEx have changed in the newer versions), the only thing that was not correct was that it seems that you have to activate the variable first before you can access properties this way: zVar.SubItem(inc).Name.
Thank you for giving the crucial hint *clap*clap*

Hi professor_hubert_farnsworth,

Great to know that you get it worked. Sorry I did not notice the difference between zenOn version I am using 7.20.

Cheer!
