File IO in properties script

[Anonymous]

Properties script of a GDL object tries to write some data into a file.
Activating the script from menu (Listak | Elemlista | ...) works well. However by calling ACAPI_Element_GetComponents from an add-on properties script fails to write into the file. (It creates the file.)
Is there any work around for this problem?

Using: ArchiCAD 8.1R2 HUN (2284) on w2k sp4

Hi Csaba,

Someone with more experience may know the answer, but I wonder if this thread is related:

Perhaps the API call does not force a full execution of the script...?

If this is the case then full execution of property scripts upon ACAPI_Element_GetComponents is #1 on my API wishlist.
- at least until I get around to rewriting my property scripts in c

I found a work around. Executing an SQL Query runs the script correctly.
(APIAny_ExecuteSQLQueryID "select components from ...")
