Thread: UTA API - How to program TE

Hi!

I don't find a topic that could summarize all the problems with the UTA API.

I would have a question:
I would like to handle a symbolTable for my parameters. I would like to refresh it from a parameterfile automatically.
Unfortunately I don't know the way how should I do it.
At the moment I'm able to read or delete a given value from an external symbol table, and save the changed symbol table with: UtaTableSave(). Unfortunately there are a lot functions what about I don't have any documentation e.g.: UtaPbDefSetParm, UtaPbDefRemoveParm... Some of them you can easily use, but others I can't use at all.
Can sombody send me an example about how to use a symbolTables (r/w/app/...) in a safe way? Or does somebody have more detail documentation about the UTA-API as the TE manual?

Thanks in advance for your help!

With an external program. I use MSVS2008. I've already used this API. In TE this w/upd method is already known .

I could do it with TE e.g echo-integer, but I think it would be more elegant if I do it my action. There is a parameter file. I would like to get the values from it and write them into a symbolTable and save it. I'm able to read/save/del an item from a symbolTable, but I don't write an exist item.

It seems to be good. Unfortunatelly I don't have these functions. Do you have an extra API? I have only the default library.

Yes thanks! I found it before dinner... it works well...I would like to write it, but you overtook me...

I write the full solution. So others can see it:

IUtaInt32 hData = 200;
HUTAPBDEF MyTable = UtaTableRegFindTable("NameOfMySymTable", false);
UtaPbSetInt32((HUTAPB)MyTable, "var_name", hData);

UtaTableSave(MyTable,"NameOfMySymTable.sym");

Thanks a lot for your help!
