RE: [CONNECT C++] mdlElementTemplate_getElementParam() replacement

Hi Jan,

thank you, this was the information I was looking for.

Now I'm able to migrate and compile my code for Connect. Till yet I can't confirm if this is working correctly at runtime; I will confirm this later, when I tested my application.

The solution is quite simple, if you know what to do, so I share my example code snippet here:

#include <Mstn\MdlApi\MdlApi.h>

DGNPLATFORM_TYPEDEFS(TemplateSymbologyRemapper)
#include <Mstn\XDataTree\MstnElementTemplate.h>

{
    MstnElementTemplateMgrStatus stat;
    ElementTemplateNodePtr pElementTemplate = NULL;
    ECN::IECInstancePtr etPropertyInstance;
    UInt32 uiCntParam = 0;
    UInt32 uiColor = 0;

    stat = MstnElementTemplateMgr::CreateFromExisting(pElementTemplate, szTemplatePath);
    if (stat != MSTNELEMENTTEMPLATE_STATUS_SUCCESS) { ; // Error Handling ... }

    etPropertyInstance = pElementTemplate->GetOrCreateDefaultInstance();

    stat = ElementTemplateParamsHelper::GetEntryCount(uiCntParam, *etPropertyInstance, ElementParameterType::ELEMENTPARAM_Color);
    if (stat != MSTNELEMENTTEMPLATE_STATUS_SUCCESS)  { ; // Error Handling ... }

    stat = ElementTemplateParamsHelper::GetElementColor(uiColor, ACTIVEMODEL, *etPropertyInstance);
    if (stat != MSTNELEMENTTEMPLATE_STATUS_SUCCESS)  { ; // Error Handling ... }
}

Best regards,
Tom

Hi Tom,

I guess information in ElementTemplateNode Struct Reference chapter in SDK documentation can help you. There are code snippets available for CRUD operations with element templates.

With regards,

Jan
