Journaling - Cell select

[vegetagaru]

anyone have any trick to select a cell within a tabular note using journaling ?

i can select the tabular note but cant only the cell.

(im using VB)

NX8.5 - NX9 - NX 10 - NX11

This is the code that I use:-

 ufs.Tabnot.AskTabularNoteOfSection(note.Tag, tabular_note_tag)
ufs.Tabnot.AskNthRow(tabular_note_tag, 3, row3_tag)
ufs.Tabnot.AskNthColumn(tabular_note_tag, 3, col3_tag)
ufs.Tabnot.AskCellAtRowCol(row3_tag, col3_tag, celltag)
ufs.Tabnot.AskCellText(celltag, celltext)

You need to get the tag of the tabular note, then the tag of the column and the row, then the tag of the cell. Then you are able to get the text from the cell.

Use SetCellText to insert a value into the cell.

trying to get it working, im using a DLX aswell

 Public Function update_cb(ByVal block As NXOpen.BlockStyler.UIBlock) As Integer
        Try

            If block Is selection01 Then
ufs.Tabnot.AskTabularNoteOfSection(note.Tag, tabular_note_tag)
ufs.Tabnot.AskNthRow(tabular_note_tag, 3, row3_tag)
ufs.Tabnot.AskNthColumn(tabular_note_tag, 3, col3_tag)
ufs.Tabnot.AskCellAtRowCol(row3_tag, col3_tag, celltag)
ufs.Tabnot.AskCellText(celltag, celltext) 
elseif...

i was trying also other way (dunno if it works with type / subtype)

 Public Function update_cb(ByVal block As NXOpen.BlockStyler.UIBlock) As Integer
        Try

            If block Is selection01 Then
 selobj = theUI.SelectionManager.GetSelectedObject(selection01)
 
      selection01=ufs.Obj.AskTypeAndSubtype(selobj.Tag, type, subtype)

NX8.5 - NX9 - NX 10 - NX11

 

[MikeHyde]

You can use type/subtype to filter your selection:-
type = UFConstants.UF_tabular_note_type And subtype = UFConstants.UF_tabular_note_section_subtype

The variable 'note' will need to be defined as Annotations.TableSection

Mike im trying to work with your code:

            If block Is selection01 Then
                Dim ufs As UFSession = UFSession.GetUFSession

                ufs.Tabnot.AskTabularNoteOfSection(note.Tag, tabular_note_tag)
                ufs.Tabnot.AskNthRow(tabular_note_tag, 3, row3_tag)
                ufs.Tabnot.AskNthColumn(tabular_note_tag, 3, col3_tag)
                selectrion01 = ufs.Tabnot.AskCellAtRowCol(row3_tag, col3_tag, celltag)

i will need to declare 'note' as Annotations.TableSection, and
tabular_note_tag, row3_tag and col3_tag as integer right or "As NXOpen.Tag" ?

im a bit noob on journaling sorry

[MikeHyde]

You will need an Imports statement:-
Imports NXOpen.Annotations

note will need to be defined
Dim note As Annotations.TableSection

All the tag variables will need to be defined
Dim row3_tag As NXOpen.Tag

Can you post the snippet of code where you are trying to get the cell.

Try this

If block Is selection01 Then
                Dim ufs As UFSession = UFSession.GetUFSession
                Dim note As Annotations.TableSection
                Dim row3_tag As NXOpen.Tag
                Dim tabular_note_tag As NXOpen.Tag
                Dim col3_tag As NXOpen.Tag
                Dim celltag As NXOpen.Tag
                Dim type As Integer
                Dim subtype As Integer

                ufs.Obj.AskTypeAndSubtype(selection01.Tag, type, subtype)
                If type = UFConstants.UF_tabular_note_type And subtype = UFConstants.UF_tabular_note_section_subtype Then
                    note = NXObjectManager.Get(selection01.Tag)

                    ufs.Tabnot.AskTabularNoteOfSection(note.Tag, tabular_note_tag)
                    ufs.Tabnot.AskNthRow(tabular_note_tag, 3, row3_tag)
                    ufs.Tabnot.AskNthColumn(tabular_note_tag, 3, col3_tag)
                    ufs.Tabnot.AskCellAtRowCol(row3_tag, col3_tag, celltag)
                End If

You will need to add this line at the beginning of your code:-
Imports NXOpen.Utilities

The issue was that 'note' was not being defined as anything. I added in a check that a tabular note had been selected but you may wish to remove this.

selects all table instead of cell still, maybe the tabular note check goes in conflit ? because what i want is just the cell

[MikeHyde]

I see what you are trying to achieve now. The code I gave you would allow you to select the tabular note and then you could get the contents of a particular cell whereas you are trying to select the actual cell.

What you need is a selection mask - this article explains them nicely but I haven't used them with Block Styler. You would need to set the subtype to UFConstants.UF_tabular_note_cell_subtype. To get the cell contents you would use ufs.Tabnot.AskCellText(celltag, celltext).

(found this on the forum:

https://community.plm.automation.si...-select-Polygon-Face-in-advanced/td-p/353216)

maybe something like this:

                Dim oSelectionMask(0) As Selection.MaskTriple

                With oSelectionMask(0)
                    .Type = UFConstants.UF_tabular_note_type
                    .Subtype = UFConstants.UF_tabular_note_cell_subtype

                End With
                selection01.SetSelectionFilter(Selection.SelectionAction.ClearAndEnableSpecific, oSelectionMask)
