Hi, in this (ChangeDefaultsHandler) example here:

https://archicadapi.graphisoft.com/documentation/acapi_notify_catchchangedefaults

what is (GetElementTypeString) refrencing to? does this function exist anymore?

Hi,

From the name and signature it seems to give a string corresponding to the element type. So e.g. Giving it "API_DoorID" would return a string similar to: "Door".

Indeed you can find an implementation in the "Notification_Manager" example in the SDK.
Here is the code from the AC26 SDK:

bool GetElementTypeString (const API_ElemType& type, char *elemStr) { GS::UniString ustr; GSErrCode err = ACAPI_Goodies_GetElemTypeName (type, ustr); if (err == NoError) { CHTruncate (ustr.ToCStr (), elemStr, ELEMSTR_LEN - 1); return true; } return false; }
