Method: OpenDataFinder for Display
Opens a DataFinder in the DIAdem NAVIGATOR interface.
bOpenDataFinder = Object.OpenDataFinder(Name)
| Object | Display Object with this method |
| Name | String Specifies the name of the DataFinder. |
| bOpenDataFinder | Boolean The OpenDataFinder method returns TRUE if DIAdem opens the DataFinder. Otherwise DIAdem displays an error message. |
![]() | Note If DIAdem cannot execute the OpenDataFinder method successfully, DIAdem fills the VBS error object and terminates the script. DIAdem writes further information into a logfile and displays a dialog box that contains information on the error. |
![]() | Note Use Navigator.Display.CurrDataFinder to access the DataFinder object. |
![]() | Note Use the GetDataFinder method to determine the associated DataFinder without interface for a DataFinder, which already has an open interface. Use the ConnectDataFinder method to work directly with a DataFinder without a user interface. |
The following example opens the DataFinder My DataFinder.
| VBScript | Python |
Call Navigator.Display.OpenDataFinder("My DataFinder")
The following example determines whether a DataFinder is already open. If no DataFinder is open, the example opens the My DataFinder DataFinder:
| VBScript | Python |
If Navigator.Display.CurrDataFinder is Nothing Then Navigator.Display.OpenDataFinder("My DataFinder") End If
