[RESOLVED] Sim Object

[skeadle6309]

I have been scrolling through the SDK documentation and have not been able to find any information on this... but I have UINT ObjectId and I am curious if there is anyway to get the name of the component with that id. Currently using the RayTraceManager to get the returnOnjectId but can not figure out what exactly the returning object is.

Thanks for any help

Hi,

you could use the ISimObjectManager and call the GetObject() method on it, which takes an UINT idObject. On the returned IBaseObjectV400 **ppObject you could then call GetTitle() which gives you a LPWSTR pszCfgTitle as out argument.

Hi Benny,

Thanks for the assistance! So I have:


CComPtr<ISimObjectManagerV440> ObjectManager;
IBaseObjectV400 **ppObject;
...
ObjectManager->GetObject(ResObjID, ppObject);
...

I am able to see in debug mode that the ResObjId is passing the correct value but I am never getting a return **ppObject

Thanks
Seth

Hi Seth,

I'd suggest you define

Code: Select all

 CComPtr<IBaseObjectV400>  ppObject = nullptr; 

and then check the returned HRESULT of GetObject() for any problem as to why ppObject isn't filled:

Code: Select all

 HRESULT hr = ObjectManager->GetObject(ResObjID, &ppObject); 

Maybe this helps.

Greets, Benny.
