Vsevolod 0 Posted January 19, 2017 I've been trying to get data from a worksheet by Python script. Here is the basic code: def FindTable(): hLayer = vs.GetParent( vs.FObject() ) vs.EnableDrawingWorksheetPalette(True, None) while hLayer != None: h = vs.FInLayer( hLayer ) while h != None: # worksheet? if vs.GetTypeN(h) == 56: rows, cols = vs.GetWSRowColumnCount(h) cellnum = vs.GetCellStr(h,1,1) vs.AlrtDialog( vs.Concat('Cell 1 ',cellnum,' Name: ',vs.GetName(h),' visible: ',vs.AreWorksheetGridLinesVisible(h),' rows=', rows, ' cols=', cols) ) h = vs.NextObj( h ) hLayer = vs.NextLayer( hLayer ) return 0 It doesn't work and returns 0 rows and columns. I guess "Worksheet container" type is not good and these APIs don't work but the cycle returns only handle with type 56 even without any 'if' condition. Maybe "Worksheet" type is what I'm looking for? types and IDs But how can I obtain it? Quote Share this post Link to post
MullinRJ 211 Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) Vsevolod, The object on the drawing layer is a WORKSHEET IMAGE (type 56). You need a handle to the WORKSHEET (type 18), which is a resource. Add this line: hWS = vs.GetWSFromImage(h) # handle to WS resource and use hWS in your subsequent calls. def FindTable(): hLayer = vs.GetParent( vs.FObject() ) vs.EnableDrawingWorksheetPalette(True, None) while hLayer != None: h = vs.FInLayer( hLayer ) while h != None: # worksheet? if vs.GetTypeN(h) == 56: hWS = vs.GetWSFromImage(h) # handle to WS resource rows, cols = vs.GetWSRowColumnCount(hWS) cellnum = vs.GetCellStr(hWS,1,1) vs.AlrtDialog( vs.Concat('Cell 1 ',cellnum,' Name: ',vs.GetName(h),' visible: ',vs.AreWorksheetGridLinesVisible(hWS),' rows=', rows, ' cols=', cols) ) h = vs.NextObj( h ) hLayer = vs.NextLayer( hLayer ) return 0 Raymond Edited January 19, 2017 by MullinRJ 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
Vsevolod 0 Posted January 19, 2017 Yes, I've checked your code and it runs exactly as you said and what I'm searching for! Thanks, Raymond! Quote Share this post Link to post
MullinRJ 211 Posted January 19, 2017 You're welcome. I missed a handle... vs.GetName(h) returns "none", if you change it to vs.GetName(hWS) you'll get "Worksheet-1" or whatever you named your worksheet. Welcome to the VW programming forum. Raymond 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
