List panel references from objects in panel

[fandersen]

Hi,

for a migration project I want to list all the typical panels that are referenced in the process picture panels. Therefore I would write a CTRL script which goes through a list of panels and writes the referenced panels to a file.

I know how to iterate through the graphical objects in a panel. But which property / attribute gives me the panel path like shown in the attached screenshot?

Code: Select all

main()
{
  int i;
  dyn_string shapes;
  
  shapes = getShapes(myModuleName(), myPanelName(), "", "");
  
  for(i = 1; i

Another solution may be to parse all the interesting pnl-files for lines beginning like this:

"objects/CONTROL/controller_symbol_ref.pnl"

I think this solution will be good enough.

The PanelRef has the attribute "panelFileName" which you can get via getValue()

and what about $-Parameter? How could I get them?
getValue("panel1", "$-Parameter", str) - doesn't works

The PanelRef also has the attribute "dollars" which gives you all dollar parameters in a mapping

Thanks!

Code: Select all

mapping dps;
getValue("panel1", "dollars", dps);
DebugN(dps);
