Description
Used to determine if the object parameter has changed. See VS:Parametric State Notifications#vsoStateGetParamChng
This function should be called during the parametric reset event: 3: {kParametricRecalculate}
FUNCTION vsoStateGetParamChng(
hObj : HANDLE;
VAR outWidgID : LONGINT;
VAR outPrmIdx : INTEGER;
VAR outOldVal : STRING) : BOOLEAN;
def vs.vsoStateGetParamChng(hObj): return (BOOLEAN, outWidgID, outPrmIdx, outOldVal)
Parameters
hObj HANDLE Handle to the parametric object. Obtained by call to VS:GetCustomObjectInfo outWidgID LONGINT Output parameter. Widget ID of the changed parameter. outPrmIdx INTEGER Output parameter. Parameter index. outOldVal STRING Output parameter. String representation of the old value.
Remarks
(Orso, 2015.06.07): In VW 2013 and perhaps before this won't be triggered by edits performed through worksheets. Otherwise in later versions it sets:
- outWidgID = -1: on edit control pt
- outWidgID = 0: on edit through WS <--- DON'T USE outWidgID!!!
Example
VectorScript
BEGIN result := GetCustomObjectInfo(objectName, objectHand, recordHand, wallHand); vsoGetEventInfo(theEvent, message ); CASE theEvent OF 5: {kObjOnInitXProperties} BEGIN {enable eventing for this plug-in} SetPrefInt( 590, 1 ); {varParametricEnableStateEventing, kParametricStateEvent_ResetStatesEvent} result := SetObjPropVS(18, TRUE); {kObjXPropAcceptStates} END; 44: {kObjOnAddState} BEGIN message := vsoStateAddCurrent( objectHand, message ); END; 3: {kParametricRecalculate} BEGIN MoveTo( 5mm, 8mm ); CreateText( 'State events received after the last kParametricRecalculate:' ); IF vsoStateGetParamChng( objectHand, widgID, prmIndex, oldValue ) THEN BEGIN MoveTo( 0,-30mm ); CreateText( Concat( 'Object parameter just changed! widgetID=', widgID, ' paramIndex=', prmIndex,' OldValue=', oldValue ) ); END; END;
