VB6 Procedure

Function ChangeName(ByVal Name As String, ByVal NewName As String) As Long

Parameters

Name

The existing name of a defined generalized displacement.

NewName

The new name for the generalized displacement.

Remarks

The function returns zero if the new name is successfully applied, otherwise it returns a nonzero value.

The new generalized displacement name must be different from all other generalized displacement names. If the name is not unique, an error will be returned.

VBA Example

Sub ChangeGDisplName()
   'dimension variables
      Dim SapObject As Sap2000.SapObject
      Dim SapModel As cSapModel
      Dim ret As Long

   'create Sap2000 object
      Set SapObject = New SAP2000.SapObject

   'start Sap2000 application
      SapObject.ApplicationStart

   'create SapModel object
      Set SapModel = SapObject.SapModel

   'initialize model
      ret = SapModel.InitializeNewModel

   'create model from template
      ret = SapModel.File.New2DFrame(PortalFrame, 3, 124, 3, 200)

   'add generalized displacement
      ret = SapModel.GDispl.Add("GD1", 1)

   'change generalized displacement name
      ret = SapModel.GDispl.ChangeName("GD1", "MyGD")

   'close Sap2000
      SapObject.ApplicationExit False
      Set SapModel = Nothing
      Set SapObject = Nothing
End Sub
