How to get the Name Of A PIO?

[Musisback]

I can't find the function that gives the name of a PIO. I mean by name, the type of PIO and not the data name that the function getname(H : handle) returns.

Thanks,

Do you mean outside the pio script and just having the handle to the object? Perhaps you cannot find it because it does not exist. I have not seen a function that will give you the name directly since I last checked, so you will have to get it through the record name.

All right thanks!

I didn't really get your hunting ferret thing, but that is not the most important for me right know....

for those interested

GetObjectVariableString(h,1166)

Use caution GetObjectVariableString(h,1166) returns the localized or displayed name of the PIO.

If you are working with the PIO setting and getting values you want to use the universal name. You need to use a different procedure to get the universal name.

RecordH := GetParametricRecord(h);

PIOName := GetName(RecordH);

The record name of the PIO has the same name as the PIO.
