GetName not working

[WhoCanDo]

Hi,

I have a rectangle on a layer with Class "Border" and Name "A3 Border"

 

Can someone tell me why the following message does not return the name "A3 Border" please?

 

procedure test;
begin
Layer ('Title Block');
DSelectAll;
SelectObj ((L = 'Title Block') & (C = 'Border'));
Message (GetName (FSObject (ActLayer)));
end;
run (test);

Layers have their own name function: GetLName()

Just to be clear 😊, the rectangle has the class "Border" and name "A3 Border". I want GetName to tell me it's name is "A3 Border".

Sorry, also the rectangle is a symbol with the name "A3 Border"

 

Ok, just tested this. I need to use GetSymName, not GetName

 

Thanks

Sorry, misread your example. Though, similarly, there is a special function to get the name of a symbol: GetSymName()

 

You can also take a shortcut to the first selected object: FSActLayer

Thanks, forgot about FSActLayer 😃
