VBA text to parameter

[Jacques.Grobler]

Hi all

I am trying to pass VBA userform TEXT to Inventor Parameters (NOT custom iProperties). Below is what I use to pass VALUES.

Sub param_Change(paramName As String, paramValue)

    'Get the Parameters Object. Assumes a Part or Assembly document as active
    Dim oParam As Parameter
    Set oParam = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition.Parameters

    'Get the Parameter required
    Dim oParamName As Parameters
    Set oParamName = oParam.Item(paramName)

    'Change the equation of parameter
    oParamName.Expression = paramValue

    'Update document
    ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.Update

End Sub

How can I change this to pass TEXT and VALUES?

Anyone with advise out there please?

Ok, since there was no alternative options given, I have opted to move the TEXT to iProperties and only have VALUES under the parameters, this seems to have resolved my issue

From the API help:
Parameter.Expression
Property that allows you to get and set the equation associated with the parameter. Depending on the type of parameter, this property may not be writable.
