Hi.

Use CATIADrawingView::Size

Hi Cthulhu,

Thanks for the reply. I have already tried something like this:

//Example :
//CATIADrawingView piVBViewObj

"
CATSafeArrayVariant oValue;
piVBViewObj->Size(oValue);
"
But i do not get any output. Please correct me if an wrong , as am trying it for the first time.

Thanks in advance

You have to init array first. It can be done with BuildSafeArray, although I may've misspelled function name.

Thanks for the reply.

But could you please elaborate on this, because i have tried init array yet i see no value.

Well, it's time to post your code.

It should go like:

#include "CATAutoConversions.h"

double coords[4];
CATSafeArrayVariant* arr = BuildSafeArrayVariant(coords, 4);
piVBViewObj->Size(*arr);
delete arr;

Hi Cthulhu,

Thanks for the example.

Good News is , i was able to do something like this & its working :

double * dArray = new double[4];
CATSafeArrayVariant* oValue = BuildSafeArrayVariant(dArray, 4);
piVBViewObj->Size(*oValue);
delete oValue;

Thank you once again.

Use [tt]ConvertSafeArrayVariant[/tt]:

#include "CATAutoConversions.h"

double coords[4];
CATSafeArrayVariant* arr = BuildSafeArrayVariant(coords, 4);
piVBViewObj->Size(*arr);

ConvertSafeArrayVariant(arr, coords, 4);
delete arr;

Hi Little Cthulhu,

Thanks for the information. It really helped me to understand about ArrayVariant.

Thanks again!!
