IFC records have different structure from other Vectorworks records. Now think for IFC record as a list of pairs (property, value). The first property has index 0. Use that function to return the index. The functions has two overloads:

VCOMError IFC_GetParamIndex(
               MCObjectHandle    hFormat,
               const TXString&   paramName,
               size_t&           outParamIndex,
               ERecordIFCType    recType = ERecordIFCType::None);

VCOMError IFC_GetParamIndex(
               MCObjectHandle   hFormat,
               size_t           paramIndexIFC,
               size_t&          outParamIndex,
               ERecordIFCType   recType = ERecordIFCType::None);

Parameters

hFormat		MCObjectHandle		Handle to the record format.
paramName		TXString		Universal name of the parameter.
paramIndexIFC		size_t		Use that overload and that parameter ONLY if you are familiar with the structure of IFC records! This is the index of the parameter in the IFC structure.
outParamIndex		size_t		The result - index of the parameter.
recType		ERecordIFCType		The record type. Possible values are ERecordIFCType::None, ERecordIFCType::IFC, ERecordIFCType::PSet, ERecordIFCType::IFCTag

Return Value

Return value meaning:

kVCOMError_NoError		The function succeeded. No Error!
kVCOMError_Failed		Routine failed.
