Handle to a component material

[Peter Vandewalle]

Hi all,

I need to get a handle to the material that is connected to a (wall) component.
When I use

bRes, iMat = vs.GetComponentMaterial(hWall, iComponent)

where hWall is the wall and iComponent is the component index, I get a boolean and a longint. That longint should be the material...

I thought

hMat = vs.GetResourceFromList(iRLMat, iMat)

would return me a handle to the Material, but apparently the resource index needed here isn't the same as the material I get from the first call.

 

Any ideas to get the material handle?

I think you need to do  vs.GetName(vs.Index2Name(iMat))

Thanks Pat, didn't remember that one 🧐

Yeah the functions that return indexes have to be handled differently than everything else.
