Topic: Adding a row to a table

[LE]

Thanks Mick, it does not work... I open a new topic on the arx forum, and removed the function from here.

Luis,

You may want to add this:

pSomeTablePointer->generateLayout();

Kerry, this:

Code: [Select]

Table tbl = (Table)trans.GetObject(entRes.ObjectId, OpenMode.ForWrite, true);


is probably better written like this (how I do it now):

Code: [Select]

Table tbl = trans.GetObject(entRes.ObjectId, OpenMode.ForWrite, true) as Table;

The reason..............no exception will be thrown if the direct cast fails, which it can do.
All you should do then is check tbl != null.

Just an observation.

Cheers,
Glenn.

The code is now working... it is in ObjectARX

Let it be said that tables s*%k hard!

Well, it's ok now I've worked them out (for my needs anyhow) but what an effort! There is very little info on the implementation of these things with code.
Anyway, for those interested here's what works for me.

Code: [Select]

Table mTable = tr.GetObject(entRes.ObjectId,OpenMode.ForWrite)as Table;

int j = 1;
string item = "n/a";
foreach(DataRow dr in dt.Rows)
{
if(dr["itemno"].ToString() == "tbc")
{
item = j.ToString();
j++;
}
else
{
item = dr["itemno"].ToString();
}
mTable.InsertRows(2,1.0,1);
ed.WriteMessage("\n" + item + " " + dr["qty"]);
mTable.SetTextString(2, 0, item );
mTable.SetTextString(2, 1, dr["qty"].ToString());
mTable.SetTextString(2, 2, dr["material"].ToString());
mTable.SetTextString(2, 3, dr["length"].ToString());
mTable.SetTextString(2, 4, dr["mass"].ToString());
}

Note I have a title and header rows in my table style. And the output -
