Microsoft Visio Developer Reference

GetPolylineData method

   Example   

Returns the points recorded in a polyline row.

Version added

2000

Syntax

object.GetPolylineData flags, xyArray

object

Required. An expression that returns a Row object.

flags

Required Integer. Flags that influence the points returned.

xyArray

Required Double. Returns an array of alternating x and y values specifying the points recorded in the row.

Remarks

If the row's type is not visTagPolylineTo, an exception is raised.

If the GetPolylineData method succeeds, xyArray returns a one-dimensional array of n doubles (VT_R8) indexed from 0 to n - 1. The argument xyArray is an out argument that is allocated by the GetPolylineData method, which passes ownership back to the caller. The caller should eventually perform SafeArrayDestroy on the returned array. (Microsoft Visual Basic and Visual Basic for Applications manage this for you.)

The flags argument is a bit mask that specifies options for returning points. Its value should be a combination of zero or more of the following values.

Constant

visGeomXYLocal

&H20

The values returned in xyArray will be local, internal units in the drawing.
