Import channel names when starting a script.

[Aryk]

Have tried looking around commands and discussions, but i haven't found anything on this so far.

I am looking to form a script around the basis of selecting a certain data channel in the NAVIGATOR window, then hitting say F3 to run a script that will take the names of the highlighted channels and recognize them, is this possible?

Any hints would be appreciated, thank you in advance!

Hi Aryk,

If you mean making channel selections in the Browser of the NAVIGATOR panel, here's a good start for you:

Set DataFinder = Navigator.Display.CurrDataFinder()
Set Selection = DataFinder.Browser.SelectedElements
jMax = Selection.Count
ReDim FilePaths(jMax)
ReDim GroupNames(jMax)
ReDim ChanNames(jMax)
For j = 1 TO jMax
  IF Selection(j).IsKindOf(eSearchChannel) THEN
    k = k + 1
    FilePaths(k)  = Selection(j).ChannelGroup.Root.Properties("FullPath").Value
    GroupNames(k) = Selection(j).ChannelGroup.Name
    ChanNames(k)  = Selection(j).Name
  END IF
NEXT ' j
MsgBox Join(FilePaths, vbCRLF)
MsgBox Join(GroupNames,vbCRLF)
MsgBox Join(ChanNames, vbCRLF)
