how to fill object objectcollection for derivedparametertable

[GeertvanderHeide]

Hi all, 

i want to be able to link/ update a derived parameter table. 

updating is not an option, so i have to delete it first and than add the new file again. 

The point is that i don't need all the parameters in the linked file. 

This is possible but i do have to fill an objectcollection, and i have no clue how to do that. 

Dim Odoc As Document = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim oCompDef As ComponentDefinition = Odoc.componentdefinition
Dim oparam As Inventor.Parameters = oCompDef.parameters
oparam.DerivedParameterTables.Item(1).Delete
oparam.DerivedParameterTables.Add2("fullfilename of parameter file", ??) 

 i don't know if i can fill an object collection with an array of strings, or if i have to specify each parameter as an inventor.parameter type object. but than again i don't know how to do that with just a parameter name. 

I know which parameters i want to import, and these names don't change. 

It is just my lack of knowledge how to fil objectcollection of types i don't know, or are not able to find. 

Kind regards, 

Geert

The API sample shows that you need the parameter objects in a collection "oParamsToLink " and then add it to the table as below. API Help Sample here

DerivedParameterTable.LinkedParameters = oParamsToLink

ah awesome. i missed the createobjectcollection part 😉 thought it would be available when you jsut defined it as an objectcollection, just like an integer for example
Thanks!
