Apprentice and File Paths

[Anonymous]

My first foray into Apprentice server so bear with me.

Using the Assembly tree example as a staring point I have added a click even
to the tree view. I return the display name of the file (which is the same
as the filename in my case).

I now want to find the full path of the selected file based upon the current
project file.

I don't see a way to find the full path of the file unless I load the
document into apprentice (which I will do AFTER I find the full path).
Chicken and the egg...

Any suggestions?

You need to look at the referencedfiles... This will loop through the
entire assembly.

Dim odoc As ApprenticeServerDocument
Set odoc = oApprenticeApp.Open("C:\Test.iam")
If odoc.DocumentType = kAssemblyDocumentObject Then
Call GetSub(odoc)
End If


Sub GetSub(subdoc As ApprenticeServerDocument)
For i = 1 To subdoc.ReferencedFiles.Count
stName= subdoc.ReferencedFiles.Item(i).FullFileName
If subdoc.ReferencedFiles.Item(i).DocumentType =
kAssemblyDocumentObject Then
Call GetSub(subdoc.ReferencedFiles.Item(i))
End If
Next i
End Sub

Without trying a few things, I think what you will probably need to do is to set a
reference to the assembly upper assembly and then find the occurrence name in the assembly
and set a reference to it.

something like this

Dim odoc As ApprenticeServerDocument
Set odoc = oApprenticeApp.Open(txtFilename.Text)
Dim sFilename As String
sFilename = treList.SelectedItem

Then find the instance that matches sFilename..... I imagine you will have to compare
against the parent tree nodes also?? to be sure to get into the right sub.


Does that make sense?
