Get locals and globals using API

[logatto]

Hi, I am making in LV an editor for TS. User should be able to change the value of file globals and locals variables. Using TS API, is possible to get all the file globals and locals variables without knowing the name that those variable have in TS? I mean, if I knew the name I could use the Get Property Value with the lookup string. But if the I do not know the name of the variable, can I get the list (and their values) of the variable?

Thanks a lot.

Try the following link

In summary:

Use GetNumSubProperties method to get the total number of Locals / FileGlobals.

Use GetNthSubProperty to get the sub properties using the an index starting at 0 to GetNumSubProperties-1

Use the Name property to obtain the Name of the subproperty.

We have a tool where I work, where we create a MSWord document based on the sequence file.  The tool reads all the locals, parameters, and File Globals names and values and populates the document.   Here is an attached VI to read the names ( comments and variable type ) of the all the locals.  It may be a good starting point...

Thanks,
