NT7 to NT8 Code Changes

[kiss987]

Hello

Can you please help me transfer my code from NT7 to NT8 on some code parts which I did not succeed:

1) if (itrDrawObject.DrawType == DrawType.VerticalLine)
itrDrawObject used to be of type IDrawObject. I changed it to IDrawingTool but there are still errors.

2) if (verticalLine.Pen.Color == Color.Red)
verticalLineused to be of type IVerticalLine. I changed it to VerticalLinebut there are still errors.

3)verticalLine.Time
Again, verticalLineused to be of type IVerticalLine. I changed it to VerticalLinebut there are still errors.

Hello kiss987,

You haven't provided the needed context of how these are being declared.

While you could cast as DrawingTool and compare this with DrawingTools.VerticalLine, if you plan to export this as a dll you would need to cast as dynamic types.

Below is a public link to the help guide which details and provides example code on casting as dynamic.

And a public link to the help guide on DrawObjects.

Hello

I was able to convert sample 2 into:
verticalLine.Pen.Color > verticalLine.Stroke.Brush

However, I cannot find a way to make sure if it's red. When I print it to screen i get '#FF000000' which represents red, but I don't want to compare it to a string.

Thanks

Hello kiss987,

Not all brushes will have a standard color.

You could do a comparison, however.

if (verticalLine.Stroke.Brush == Brushes.Red)
{
// execute code
}
