Deleting Bill Of Materials Table using VB code.

[dcmoore]

We cannot seem to figure out how to delete a bill once it is inserted in a slddrw. Anyone know how to delete a bill using VB6.0 code.

Right-click on it, delete/table

Record a macro of ctopher's suggestion and you may get what you are looking for.

So anyways, we did look at the macro but in the macro it gives u a part active thingy when you select it. Basically we need to figure out how to select the bill automatically without using ur mouse. As in code opens drawing, code searches for bill, code finds bill and code selects bill and hides it. You know what I mean?

 

[Stoker]

Select the table (in code) and use ModelDoc2.DeleteSelection to delete it.

 

[dcmoore]

OK. but we dont know how to select the table in code is the main problem.

 

[Stoker]

The Get Table Annotation and Contents Example in the help shows how to do this.

The example Stoker refers to will show you hold to get the Table Annotation Object. I believe you will also need to use:

BomTableAnnotation::BomFeature

BomFeature::GetFeature

Feature::Select2

to actually select the table so you can use ModelDoc2:eleteSelection (or ModelDoc2::EditDelete).
