Delete Layers with J-Link Problem

[pstephens]

Hello J-Link Gurus,

I am having trouble getting an application to delete certain layers from a model to work.

I can add layers no problem, "ModelName.CreateLayer("_PLANES");" ,
but cannot query the model properly to list all of the existing layers and then delete the unwanted layers.

I am using Eclipse as my IDE and it throws an error when I try to get a listing of the existing layers in the model.

What I am trying to do is get the existing layer names out of the model, which is called "ModelName".

Find out if any of the layers have a certain name, if so delete these layers from the model.

A snippet of the code from the app which is not working is below:
" ModelItems listModItems = ModelName.ListItems(null);
Layers existing_layers = listModItems(ModelItemType._ITEM_LAYER);(Throws an error with this)

String listOfLayers = null;

for (int k=0; k<listmoditems.getarraysize();k++){<br/> listOfLayers = listModItems.get(k).GetName().toString();

}"

It doesn't like the "listModItems(ModelItemType._ITEM_LAYER);" part

I've tried "Layers" instead of "ModelItems" , I've actually tried a lot of different things but to no avail.

If anyone can point out where I am going wrong and provide an example of what I should be doing, I would be eternally grateful as
I cannot find any examples anywhere on the net.

Please excuse my lack of Java/J-Link skills.

TIA

Hi Paul
The ModelItemType._ITEM_LAYER is of type int. You should use
ModelItemType.ITEM_LAYER to get the correct type of ModelItemType.

Try this code to loop through all layer names in your model:

ModelItems listModItems = ModelName.ListItems(ModelItemType.ITEM_LAYER);
String listOfLayers = null;
for (int k = 0; k < listModItems.getarraysize(); k++)
{
        listOfLayers = listModItems.get(k).GetName();
}

Good luck,
Bjarne Frandsen
