I'm having trouble understanding the ConsiderSuppressed parameter, particulularly the truth tables and what they mean in order to use this method in an if statement in my code.

API help link for IsHidden http://help.solidworks.com/2012/English/api/sldworksapi/SolidWorks.Interop.sldworks~SolidWorks.Interop.sldworks.IComponent2~IsHidden.html

Basically, I'm trying to extract mass data from SolidWorks into Excel, but I want the macro to have the functionality to get the parts from the assembly that I've isolated (by using the IsHidden method in conjunction with the GetSuppression method). So far, I haven't been able to get it to work. It still seems to be picking up hidden parts.

Here's a snippet of the code I have for this part:

xlCurRow = 2
Components = swAssembly.GetComponents(0)
'Loop that populates excel spreadsheet
For Each Component In Components
    Set swComp = Component
    If swComp.GetSuppression <> 0 And Not swComp.IsHidden(True) then
                Bodies = swComp.GetBodies2(0)
                RetBool = MassProp.AddBodies(Bodies)
                CenOfM = MassProp.CenterOfMass
               xlsheet.Range("K" & xlCurRow).value = CenOfM(1) 
               xlsheet.Range("M" & xlCurRow).value = CenOfM(2)
...
     End If
xlCurRow = xlCurRow + 1
Next Component
