Access to locals in the sequence

[RayFarmer · Accepted solution]

Hi John

Use the following Methods

SequenceFile.GetSequence ( index) to return a reference to the Sequence

or use

SequenceFile.GetSequenceByName ( sequenceNameParam) or by a name

ie

SequenceFile.GetSequenceByName ( "MainSequence")

then once you have your Sequence reference then you can get a PropertyObject reference to Locals.

 Sequence.Locals as a PropertyObject

eg

 Sequence seq = seq_file.GetSequence ( index = 0) (usually for the MainSequence)

but better to use

 Sequence seq = GetSequenceByName ( "MainSequence")

then to get you value from your local

 PropertyObject str = seq.Locals.GetValString("strTextBox", 0);

Because you have a reference to Locals for the required sequence you dont use "Locals" in the Lookup String.

You only need the full Lookup string if you have the Sequence Context.

Hope this helps

One more thing. When  i change local variable i see the change in the code but sequence stays unchanged.

Engine my_egine = axApplicationMgr.GetEngine();

SequenceFile seq_file = my_egine.GetSequenceFileEx(seq_file_path, TypeConflictHandlerTypes.ConflictHandler_UseGlobalType);

Sequence seq = seq_file.GetSequenceByName("MainSequence");

seq.Locals.SetValString("strTextBox", 0, "my new string");
string str = seq.Locals.GetValString("strTextBox", 0);
            
MessageBox.Show(str);

I see "my new string" in message box but in the sequense the text is "Hello World".
