Extended Tool Settings

Question

Quick question; how do you define the level name when using the change elements tool??

My example:

MbeSendCommand "Change Element Extended "

' Set a variable associated with a dialog box

MbeSetAppVariable "CHANGEBY", "tcb->msToolSettings.changeElement.level", 1& <---- this puts a check in the box/ turns on

MbeSetAppVariable "CHANGEBY", "changeElementInfo.currentLevel", "A-Code"& <----- this is the name of the level to change too

MbeSetAppVariable "CHANGEBY", "tcb->msToolSettings.changeElement.color", &

MbeSetAppVariable "CHANGEBY", "changeElementInfo.currentColor", -1& <----- this sets by-level

MbeSetAppVariable "CHANGEBY", "tcb->msToolSettings.changeElement.style", 0& <----this removes the check/ turns off

MbeSetAppVariable "CHANGEBY", "tcb->msToolSettings.changeElement.weight", 1&

MbeSetAppVariable "CHANGEBY", "changeElementInfo.currentWeight", -1&

Is there a programs reference where I can find some of the “extra options” and correct syntax for these command???

Thanks for the help.

By the tags you selected, it looks like you are trying to use MicroStation BASIC with MicroStation 2004 Edition? If that is the case, you really should be looking at MicroStation VBA instead of MicroStation BASIC. That said, in current MicroStation releases, you can use "set item toolsettings..." to set these sorts of things without using MicroStation VBA.
