Method: CreateElementList for Data

Generates in the script interface for internal data a collection of elements. Every element from the generated collection is an Element and thus can be a root type (eDataRoot), a channel group type (eDataChannelgroup), or a channel type (eDataChannel).

Set oElementList = Object.CreateElementList()

The following example adds all channel groups and channels of the Data Portal into a list of elements and returns the number of elements contained in this list:

Dim oMyElementList, oMyChannelgroups, Channelgroup, oMyChannels, Channel
Set oMyElementList = Data.CreateElementList
Set oMyChannelgroups = Data.Root.ChannelGroups
For Each Channelgroup in oMyChannelgroups
  Call oMyElementList.Add(Channelgroup)
  Set oMyChannels = Channelgroup.Channels
  For Each Channel in oMyChannels
    Call oMyElementList.Add(Channel)
  Next
Next
Call MsgBoxDisp(oMyElementList.Count)

oMyElementList = dd.Data.CreateElementList() 
oMyChannelgroups = dd.Data.Root.ChannelGroups 
for Channelgroup in oMyChannelgroups: 
    oMyElementList.Add(Channelgroup) 
    oMyChannels = Channelgroup.Channels 
    for Channel in oMyChannels: 
        oMyElementList.Add(Channel) 
dd.MsgBoxDisp(oMyElementList.Count)
