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.
