Zone data via attached label

Bruce — Tue, 11 Apr 2023 09:24:48 GMT

Now we can attach labels in AC26, I thought I'd create a GDL label to match my company's zone stamp. However, I can't find any way to extract all the necessary data from the attached zone.

There is the ZONE_RELATIONS request, but that doesn't return any area data. I've also tried the ASSOCLP_PARVALUE request, but that doesn't work either.

In particular, I'm after the different types of areas; but I also need to retrieve parameter info.

Any ideas?

Also faced the same problem. Looks like ASSOCLP_PARVALUE doesn't work with zone members. It is strange that such a restriction is not described in the documentation.

This is a brand new feature, so I imagine they will work through such things shortly...

This is documented in the GDL-Manual under the following header:

BUILT-IN PROPERTY GUIDE

Example Script for room number:

_actProperty = "Builtin.Zone_ZoneNumber" ! Room Numebr m = request ("Property_Value_Of_Parent", _actProperty, _typeValue, dim1, dim2, _propertyValues) _inhalt_2D[i] = _propertyValues

Note that not all zone parameters are available for labels.

Thanks Joachim - that's what I was looking for!

This solves 85% of what I need. What is missing is the parameter requests for the zone.

Thanks again.
