CimProjectData (object)

Overview The CimProjectData object provides the ability to search and return specific pieces of a project's configuration. The underlying APIs used by the CimProjectData object are the same as those used to browse point configuration on a remote project. In general, this object provides a convenient way to retrieve a set of attributes based on specified filter criteria. This object provides a read-only capability. To write configuration, please see the help file for the CIMPLICITY Configuration Object Model.
Example (CimBasic)
Sub Main()
??????' This example retrieves all points beginning with A for Device MY_PLC
??????' in project MY_PROJECT and displays the point id and resource id of
??????' each matching item.
??????Dim d as new CimProjectData
??????d.Project = "MY_PROJECT"
??????d.Entity = "POINT"
??????d.Filters = "POINT_ID=A*,DEVICE_ID=MY_PLC"
??????d.Attributes = "POINT_ID,RESOURCE_ID"
??????Dim p as string
??????Dim r as String
??top:
??????if d.GetNext(p,r) = TRUE then
????????????MsgBox "Point Id = " & p & " Resource Id = " & r
????????????goto top
??????End if
end sub
