Get the Loop lengt from Measure tool

[RasmusBredal]

Hey All 

I try to make a iLogic code that takes value from a loop, and adds this to a aarylist.

My problem is to get the value when I have selected a loop, with Measure tool. 

Some who can help me?

Dim app As Inventor.Application
app = ThisApplication
Dim LoopList As New ArrayList
'Set RUsure frist time 
RUsure = vbYes

While RUsure = vbYes
Dim oControlDef As ControlDefinition
oControlDef = app.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("AppMeasureLoopCmd") 
   
oControlDef.Execute2 (True)
'Add loop length top Arrylist
'Add the lengt from measure tool to LoopList

RUsure = MessageBox.Show("Will you ad more loop´s to custom iProperty", "Loop Length", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question)
	
	If RUsure = vbNo
	Exit While
	End If 
End While
	
'Get total loop lengt 
LoopValues = LoopList
sum = 0
For Each oval in LoopValues
sum += oval
Next

MsgBox(sum)

I do not have an example for it's usage but there is a method for MeasureTools.GetLoopLength check the VBA object browser or API documentation for more information.
