Change Tracefield...

Hello!

Trying to change a tracefield value using VBA, it is behaving weirdly. I can change the internal value, but it still has the old string written with quote marks entered in the edit-window and that does not change. Upon execution of the tracefield it then resets to the old string. Anyone encountered this? The change works if there is a text without quotation marks. I tried the value-function and setexpression, neither works on the quote-text.

hello,

thats works for me in v2021.2 sp4
with or without quotation

Sub Main()
Dim DmisApp As Object
Dim DmisPart As Object
Dim DmisCommands As Object
Dim DmisCommand As Object

Set DmisApp = CreateObject("PCDLRN.Application")
Set DmisPart = DmisApp.ActivePartProgram
Set DmisCommands = DmisPart.Commands

For Each DmisCommand In DmisCommands
If DmisCommand.Type = TRACEFIELD Then
retVal = DmisCommand.PutText("should work", TRACE_VALUE, 0)
Exit For
End If
Next DmisCommand

DmisPart.RefreshPart
End Sub

if you want to set quotation within pcDMIS use something like this

Sub Main()
Dim DmisApp As Object
Dim DmisPart As Object
Dim DmisCommands As Object
Dim DmisCommand As Object

Set DmisApp = CreateObject("PCDLRN.Application")
Set DmisPart = DmisApp.ActivePartProgram
Set DmisCommands = DmisPart.Commands

For Each DmisCommand In DmisCommands
If DmisCommand.Type = TRACEFIELD Then
retVal = DmisCommand.PutText("should work", TRACE_VALUE, 0)
retVal = DmisCommand.SetExpression("""should work""", TRACE_VALUE, 0)
Exit For
End If
Next DmisCommand

DmisPart.RefreshPart
End Sub
