GetClassesByIterator

Returns a handle to an class.
If input class is zero, the handle will point to the first relevant class.
If all classes are past (or no relevant classes are found), the function will return 0.

Property model

Size: 64 bit / 8 byte (value)
The handle to the model. The model handle is static during its existance. Several models can be opened simultaniously within one session. Different models are always independent, threads are allowed to be running on different models simultaniously.

Property owlClass

Size: 64 bit / 8 byte (value)
This attribute represents a handle to the class. The term owl is comming from W3C, the classes follow the expression power of Semantic Web concepts, therefore classes support multiple inheritance. Technically classes can also be distributed over different resources, however for this the parametric library is required as an extension on the basic Geometry Kernel API.

Example (based on pure API calls)

Here you can find code snippets that show how the API call GetClassesByIterator can be used.

#include    "./include/engine.h"

int64_t GetClassCnt(int64_t model)
{
    int64_t classCnt = 0,
            myIteratedClass = GetClassesByIterator(model, 0);
    while (myIteratedClass) {
        char    * className = nullptr;
        GetNameOfClass(myIteratedClass, &className);
        //
        //  The name of the class can be checked by placing a breakpoint after this point while debugging
        //
        myIteratedClass = GetClassesByIterator(model, myIteratedClass);
        classCnt++;
    }

    return  classCnt;
}

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
    int64_t model = CreateModel();

    if (model) {
        int64_t classCnt = GetClassCnt(model);

        //
        //  Add a new class
        //
        CreateClass(model, "CreatedClassToTestClassCnt");

        assert(GetClassCnt(model) == classCnt + 1);

        int64_t classCntThroughAPI = 0;
        OrderedHandles(model, &classCntThroughAPI, nullptr, nullptr, 0, 0);

        assert(GetClassCnt(model) == classCntThroughAPI);

        CloseModel(model);
    }

    return  0;
}
