DynamicStructure: ds_GetObjectMethodIDs

ds_GetObjectMethodIDs

ds_GetObjectMethodIDs (IDs; varNames; formIDs {; pageNums}) <- errorCode
Parameter		Type	Description
<-	IDs	Numeric Array	IDs of object methods
<-	varNames	String/Text Array	Names of variables
<-	formIDs	Numeric Array	Form IDs
<-	pageNums	Numeric Array	Page number containing the object
<-	errorCode	Long Integer	Error Code (0 = no error)

This routine loads in synchronised arrays information about all objects methods of the structure file:

Their IDs (usable with ds_MethodToText fo instance)
The name of the variable/Field that holds the method. For fields, the name
IDs of forms which contain the variables/fields
The number of the page that contains the object

NOTICE: fields names are formated using this naming convention: number of the table on 3 chars + number of the field on 3 chars. When the table is the table of the form, its number is 0 (it is formated "000")

Examples:

Field #12 of the current form table: "000012"
Field #8 of table #36 in a form of another table: "036008"

It is up to the developer to extract the numbers and build the full name of the field.

To load the objects of one single form, use the ds_GetFormObjectMethodIDs routine.

Version 1.1: Names can be loaded less or more quickly, given less or more time to the 4D scheduler, using the ds_Preferences routine. Because loading a lot of methods on slow computers can take several seconds, and may not give the hand to the 4D scheduler. In this situation, the user may think its machine is frozen while it is busy.
