how can I get geometry coordinates in Catia macros? - vba

I'm trying to write code which can measure geometry coordinates in Catia active document, probably in CATProduct?! this is my code and the result is nothing. MsgBox doesn't show anything.
Sub CatMain()
Dim varFilter(1) As Variant
Dim objSel As Selection
Dim objSelLB As Object ' <--- notice declared as object
Dim strReturn As String
Dim strMsg As String
varFilter(0) = "Body" 'Body represents a solid body
varFilter(1) = "HybridBody" 'HybridBody represents a geometrical set
Set objSel = CATIA.ActiveDocument.Selection
Set objSelLB = objSel
strMsg = "Select a body or geometrical set…"
objSel.Clear
strReturn = objSelLB.SelectElement2(varFilter, strMsg, False)
If strReturn = "Normal" Then
If objSel.Count2 > 0 Then
Set bb = objSel.Item(1).Value
Set cc = bb.HybridShapes
For s = 1 To cc.Count
Set cc = cc.Item(s)
cc.GetCoordinates arrXYZ
MsgBox ((cc.Parent.Name) & Separator & (cc.Name) & Separator & _
arrXYZ(0) & Separator & _
arrXYZ(1) & Separator & _
arrXYZ(2) & vbLf)
Next s
End If

Error 3000 Using VBA and HCL ( Lotus) notes

I made a code to send some emails, using HCL NOTES and Excel, but I have been stuck.
ERROR 3000 appears when going through the line ".SEND 0, vaRecipient". I think what happens is that the connection with the database is lost, after going through the procedure of attaching an image to the body of the mail. Since if I remove those lines of code, no error arises.

You've got two pieces of incompatible code here.
.Body = UserForm1.FirstLineBox & vbLf & vbLf & _
UserForm1.FirstParagraphBox & vbLf & vbLf & _
UserForm1.SecondParagraphBox & vbLf & vbLf & _
UserForm1.ThirdParagraphBox & vbLf

strImageType = "image/jpeg; image/gif" '" Other formats are "image/gif" "image/bmp" -
Call mimeImage.SetContentFromBytes(NStream, strImageType, ENC_IDENTITY_BINARY)
You can't work with the message body both as Notes rich text (the first piece of code) and as MIME. You need to pick one or the other. I'm guessing you're going to pick MIME, in which case you are going to need to create a text/plain part and populate it with your three paragraphs of text.

Format a date variable to display time only in Outlook Calendar

I am trying to show the start time and end time.
In the end time, I don't want the date, as I am trying to show availability.
It shows under the print window "25/06/2021 14:45:34 25/06/2021 16:05:00".
I want to remove the middle date. I tried masks, but just erroring.

First of all, there is no need to iterate over all items in the collection:
For Each oAppt In oFinalItems
Instead, you can apply a filter by using the Restrict or Find/FindNext methods of the Items class as you did that earlier in the code.
To format the dates values you need to use the Format function available in VBA:
strAppt = oAppt.Start & " " & Format(endAppt, "hh:mm:ss")

Excel VBA UDF Executes in Immediate Window, Fails on Worksheet

UDF "NAV()" is designed to find the correct report on a network drive based on the first argument (always a date), then loop through all worksheets to find a piece of data with the same row as second argument and same column as third argument (second and third can be text or numbers).
Works reliably in the immediate window. Always returns #VALUE! when used on worksheet, e.g. =NAV(D7,D8,D9) or =NAV(2/19/2016,"Net Asset Value","221-I").
In general it looks like one could get this behaviour if trying to alter other cells in a UDF, but my functions don't do that. Also, I believe all range references specify which workbook and worksheet, so I don't think that is the problem either. I'm not sure where to look next.
Function also attempts to email me a report through Outlook when it fails to find what the user is looking for. I don't know if that is relevant.
Again, what is perplexing is that this code seems to work fine in the immediate window, but only gives #VALUE! when used on a worksheet.
Where else can I look in my code below to determine what would cause NAV() to function correctly in the immediate window, but always yield #VALUE! when used on a worksheet?

You can Open Workbooks within a Worksheet_Change Event.
For demonstration, if a change in Sheet1!A2, Excel will try open the workbook name with that cell value, then Output the status to Sheet1!A4.
Put below in a Module:
Option Explicit
Function TryOpenWB(ByVal oItem As Variant) As Variant
Dim sOut As String
Dim oWB As Workbook
On Error Resume Next
Set oWB = Workbooks.Open(CStr(oItem))
If oWB Is Nothing Then
sOut = "Cannot open """ & CStr(oItem) & """"
Else
sOut = "Opened """ & CStr(oItem) & """ successfully."
'oWB.Close
End If
TryOpenWB = sOut
End Function
Then below in Worksheet Module (I used Sheet1 for demonstration):
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = Range("A2").Address Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
Range("A4").Value = TryOpenWB(Target)
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End Sub
So this idea is to open the Workbook only if some cell address is matched.

Word VBA heading text cut short and function produces reversed results when called from Sub

Sorry for the two fold question in one post.
This indirectly relates to a question I posted recently here: vba: return page number from selection.find using text from array which was solved
Program purpose:
Firstly: add a footer with custom page numbers to documents (i.e. 0.0.0, Chapter.Section,Page representative) in a selected folder and sub folders.
Secondly: create a TOC with the custom page numbers saved as roottoc.docx in the root folder selected.
I now have two new problems before I can fully clean and finally put this to bed, I will post the full code at the end of this post.
Solved First of all, from what I have discovered and just read elsewhere too the getCrossReferenceItems(refTypeHeading) method will only return the text upto a certain length from what of finds. I have some pretty long headings which means this is quite an annoyance for the purpose of my code. So the first question I have is is there something I can do with the getCrossReferenceItems(refTypeHeading) method to force it to collect the full text from any referenced headings or is there an alternative way round this problem.
Solved Secondly the createOutline() function when called in ChooseFolder() produces the correct results but in reverse order, could someone point the way on this one too please.
Unfortunately the actual results I am recieving will be difficulty to exactly replicate but if a folder is made containing a couple of documents with various headings. The directory name should be the the same as what is in the Unit Array i.e. Unit(1) "Unit 1", the file names are made up of two parts i.e. Unit(1) & " " & Criteria(1) & ext becoming "Unit 1 p1.docx" etc, the arrays Unit and Criteria are in the ChooseFolder Sub. chapArr is a numerical representative of the Unit array contents soley for my page numbering system, I used another array because of laziness at this point in time. I could have used some other method on the Unit array to achieve the same result which I might look at when cleaning up.
When running the ChooseFolder Sub if the new folder with documents in is located in My Document then My Documents will be the folder to locate and select in the file dialogue window. This should produce results that are similar and will give an example of what I am talking about.

Kevin's Solutions:
Question part 1, Answer
I thought initially that something went wrong when I added your function, but it was due to a blank heading on the following line after the actual heading in the documents. I suppose an If statement to test if there is text present could solve this. :-)
I haven't tested this bit yet (due to being tired), but if the heading is inline with normal text, would this function pick up only the heading or both heading and normal text?
Question part 2, Answer
Just worked, although with one niggle (the list produced is no longer indented as desired in the main CreateOutline function). Time is getting on now so will have to pick this up again tomorrow :-)
Thanks yet again kevin, this is where I should have concentrated more during programming at uni instead of thinking about the pub.
Phil :-)
welcome back! :-)
For the reversed data from the CreateOutline function - change your Collapse function to have a false parameter. Collapse defaults to putting the cursor at the beginning of the selection, but this will put it at the end so you're adding to the end of the doc instead of the beginning:
' Add the text to the document.
rng.Collapse(False) 'HERE'
rng.InsertAfter strText & vbLf
docOutLine.SelectAllEditableRanges
rng.Collapse(False) 'AND HERE'
For the CrossReferenceItems issue, try this and let me know if there's any data missing from what it returns. Call this instead of the CrossReferenceItems method:
Function returnHeaderText(doc As Word.Document) As Variant
Dim returnArray() As Variant
Dim para As Word.Paragraph
Dim i As Integer
i = 0
For Each para In doc.Paragraphs
If Left(para.Style, 7) = "Heading" Then
ReDim Preserve returnArray(i)
returnArray(i) = para.Range.Text
i = i + 1
End If
Next
returnHeaderText = returnArray
End Function
