Computed MetaAttribute Macro : Trying to get HexaId

[RGenin]

Hello everyone, 

I'm trying to get the Hexadecimal ID of a Diagram insterad of its Absolute ID in a reportset, but my macro fails everytime:

Sub GetAttributeValue(Object as MegaObject,AttributeID as Variant,Value as String)

Dim oToolkit 
Set oToolkit = Object.Toolkit

Value = oToolkit.GetStringFromID(Object)

End sub

I believe the macro looks a little bit too simple...

Any clue ?

Thanls.

Hello Raphael,

I see you have opened case 00085201 regarding this scenario.

I will reply to you directly through the case mechanism to assist. 

Thanks,

Opened case  000085201

Tried for hours....Still no result.

Documentation is very scarse unfortunately.

Latest result:

Sub GetAttributeValue(Object as MegaObject,AttributeID as Variant,Value as String)
root= Object.getRoot()
Value = root.getObjectfromID(Object).getProp("~H20000000550[_HexaIdAbs]")
End Sub

How can the parent would be an empty object where there is data ?

Hi, 

Thanks for the reply.

No, it does not work.

We have some value using:

Sub GetAttributeValue(Object as MegaObject,AttributeID as Variant,Value as String)

Dim mgRoot
Set mgRoot = Object.getRoot
Dim mgToolkit
Set mgToolkit = mgRoot.Currentenvironment.Toolkit

Value = Object.getid
'Value = mgToolkit.GetStringFromID(Object.getid)

End Sub

However, the id from Object.getid or the hexa from mgToolkit.GetStringFromID(Object.getid) don't provide the right results (the id changes everytime the report is refreshed).

I don't know why somehow it is a temporary id or something.

Hi,

Have you tried to use the .GetProp("_HexaidAbs") ?
