Re: Text Library

You can use the "StartValue" or "EndValue" properties.

Code: Select all

int sVal = Globals.TextLibrary.Group1.Messages[i].StartValue;
int eVal = Globals.TextLibrary.Group1.Messages[i].EndValue;

Re: Open Specific file in Database Viewer

I've created a sample application that will do what you're looking for. Before using, you will need to add a DataGrid control to your objects and restart iX Developer. See screen shots.
