Get object's parameter description (not just name)

HI everyone. I am looking for a way to get a parameter description from a placed GSM object.

I can get parameter's name with

const API_AddParType& parameter = (*memo.params)[ii]; GS::UniString ParameterName = parameter.name;

but the values of "valueDescription" or "uDescname" of the struct API_AddParType
are always empty. Is there another way?

Hi,

I'd suggest you to use ACAPI_LibraryPart_GetParams() to get parameter description.

HTH.

Thanks, that worked fine.
