ForEachObjectInList

Description

Processes all items in the specified list and and applies the specified action to each item.

Table - ForEachObjectInList Selectors

Option	Selector	Description
Object Options
All objects	0
Visible Objects only	1
Selected Objects only	2
Unlocked objects only	4
Traversal Options
Traverse Shallow	0
Traverse Groups	1	Traverse inside groups
Traverse Deep	2	Traverse all containers (walls, extrudes, sweeps, etc)

PROCEDURE ForEachObjectInList(
				actionFunc  : FUNCTION;
				objOptions  : INTEGER;
				travOptions : INTEGER;
				list        : HANDLE);

def vs.ForEachObjectInList(actionFunc, objOptions, travOptions, list):
    return None

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
actionFunc	FUNCTION	Subroutine which performs operation on found objects.
objOptions	INTEGER	Object selection option index.
travOptions	INTEGER	Search options index.
list	HANDLE	Handle to first item in list.

Remarks

Be careful using this together with a call to BeginSym: it deselects all selected objects on active layer (VW 13)

It seems that when you fill in a NIL Handle in the list Parameter, the ActionFunc will be executed on all the objects of the active layer (VW2011).

Examples

TraverseObjectsInActiveLayer

PROCEDURE Example;
CONST
pioName = 'Complex Window 2';
parameter = 'MeasureHeight';
value = 'Head of Window';

FUNCTION DoIt(h :HANDLE) :BOOLEAN;
BEGIN
h := FInSymDef(h);
SetRField(h, pioName, parameter, value);
END;

BEGIN
ForEachObjectInList(DoIt, 0, 0, FSymDef);
END;
RUN(Example);

Another example:

PROCEDURE Example;
CONST
pioName = 'Window';
parameter = 'UPI';
value = '25.4';

FUNCTION DoIt(h :HANDLE) :BOOLEAN;
BEGIN
h := FInSymDef(h);
IF (h <> NIL) &amp; (GetType(h) = 86) &amp; (Eval(h, 'R IN [pioName])') > 0) THEN BEGIN
SetRField(h, pioName, parameter, value);
END;
END;

BEGIN
ForEachObjectInList(DoIt, 0, 0, FSymDef);
END;
RUN(Example);

Python:

pioName = 'Complex Window 2'
parameter = 'MeasureHeight'
value = 'Head of Window'

def DoIt(h):
    h := vs.FInSymDef(h);
    vs.SetRField(h, pioName, parameter, value);

vs.ForEachObjectInList(DoIt, 0, 0, vs.FSymDef);
