How to get a weblink "pfcBaseSession" object?

I want to use weblink to get the current value of a config option.In my case I want to get the value
of start_model_dir.

According to CS122393 it should be as simple as using pfcBaseSession.GetConfigOption(). However when
I attempt to do this:
var startModelDir = pfcBaseSession.GetConfigOption("start_model_dir");

I get a javascript error:
pfcBaseSession is not defined

So obviously there is more to this than what CS122393 states.

Does anybody have a working code snippet that uses any of the pfcBaseSession weblink methods they
would be willing to share?

Thanks

Good morning,

if you want to learn how to start with Weblink it is neccessary to read the "Introduction" chapter in the Weblink API documentation.
There are examples how to get the session object and the important pfcCreate() method.

The Weblink API doc can be found in the folder <creo_installation_dir>/Common Files/M130/weblink/weblinkdoc.

Randy,

Try this

var session = pfcCreate("MpfcCOMGlobal").GetProESession();

var dir = session.GetConfigOption("start_model_dir");

Perfect!
That is exactly what I needed but couldn't arrive at from the weblink users guide or the javascript
examples.

I had tried all combinations of
var baseSession = pfcCreate("MpfcBaseSession");
var baseSession = pfcCreate("pfcBaseSession");

and then
baseSession.GetConfigOption("start_model_dir");


Thanks.

Hi Randy,

If it's still relevant on the following link found following solution:

  • The variable is a handle of the active Creo session. It could be retrieved (Interface) and could not be instantiated
  • we can simple get via casting pfcBaseSession <=> pfcSession
  • Example:

session=(new ActiveXObject ("pfc.MpfcCOMGlobal")).GetProESession ();
//the GetProESession returns a pfcSesson object
session.GetConfigOption("regen_failure_handling");
//pfcBaseSession method from a pfcSession object is automatic get along the
// inheritance of the object

Aduard
