SW2009 SP3.0
Windows XP x64
It seems as though the implementation of this is half-baked in SWand in the API. For instance, inside SW I can create a selectioncriteria such as this:
Select all parts where I have write access to the files.
In the 'Define Search Criteria' tab of the 'Advanced ComponentSeelction' dialog this criteria looks like this:
The API method to get a criteria item is:
Function GetItem( _
ByVal Index As Integer, _
ByRef Property As String, _
ByRef Condition As Integer, _
ByRef Value As String, _
ByRef IsAnd As Boolean _
) As Integer
What is returned for the criteria above looks like this:
What the heck?
Did Category 2 get added at some point and the API folks forgot todeal with it?
Problem #2:
The 'Export Criteria' button opens a save dialog where the 'Save Astype:' drop down contains 'SW Component Query Criteria (*.xml)' andone or more other types with random garbage text as shown in theattached image.
Problem #3:
If I select XML as the export file type for the criteria describedabove, the XML file that is output is essentailly empty. Thecontents are as follows:
However, if I check the check box in the 'Add to favorites' columnand then export, I get actual content in the XML file. The contenteven includes enough data to properly handle the Category2information in the criteria.
