Don't compare the assembly namespace structure you see in the VS Object Browser with the TBC project structure.

Each UtilityNetwork is a separate node under the Project-WorldView

With GetSite() you can always retrieve the level/container an objects resides in, so to say one level further up in the tree.
During runtime (and a breakpoint) you can inspect that value.

Hello Ronny,

Something that still is a mystery is in the last three lines of the script as below:

Looking at the the last three lines , B1,B2 and B3 are three Wpf Listboxes objects that are the members of the class and they don't know anything about the current project and on the other side of the equation we just defined array of types, then how it knows to pull (UtilityNetwork(s) ,UtilityRun(s) or UtilityLine(s) from the project?

BTW, here is the reference for the UtilityNetwork: from Trimble.Vce.Utility import UtilityNode,UtilityLine, UtilityNetwork,UtilityRun

Could you please explain it me?

Thank you,

Hello Morteza,
a UtilityLine is part of a run. Each run has a unique set of lines.
UtilityRun has a property ContainedSerials which will give you a list with the Lineserials contained in that run.

something like this should work, haven't tested it though

        self.Tb2.Text=str(selectednetwork.Count)        for o in selectednetwork:            if type(o)==UtilityRun:                    self.LB1.Items.Add(o.Name)                    lineserials = o.ContainedSerials                    for s in lineserials:                        line = self.currentProject.Concordance.Lookup(s)                        self.LB3.Items.Add(line.Name)                              if type(o)==UtilityNode:                  self.LB2.Items.Add(o.Name)

If you want all entities in one list why don't you go with Wpf:ComboBoxEntityPicker. That has the method FilterByEntityTypes

In the OnLoad function you can set the filters like this

        self.B1.FilterByEntityTypes = Array[Type]([clr.GetClrType(UtilityNetwork)])        self.B2.FilterByEntityTypes = Array[Type]([clr.GetClrType(UtilityRun)])        self.B3.FilterByEntityTypes = Array[Type]([clr.GetClrType(UtilityLine)])

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to get the list of the Utility Nodes, Utility Runs and finally Utility Lines within each Utility Run in my Utility Network so I wrote below:

        selectednetwork = self.utilitynetworkslist.SelectedEntity()                self.Tb2.Text=str(selectednetwork.Count)        for o in selectednetwork:            if type(o)==UtilityRun:                  self.LB1.Items.Add(o.Name)                  #for e in o.List<UtilityLine>():                      #self.LB3.Items.Add(e)                              if type(o)==UtilityNode:                  self.LB2.Items.Add(o.Name)        selectednetwork = self.utilitynetworkslist.SelectedEntity()                self.Tb2.Text=str(selectednetwork.Count)        for o in selectednetwork:            if type(o)==UtilityRun:                  self.LB1.Items.Add(o.Name)                              if type(o)==UtilityNode:                  self.LB2.Items.Add(o.Name)

I have three ListBoxes as LB1, LB2 and LB3. I looked through the object browser to find any property which is a collection of Trimble.Vce.Utility.UtilityLine but I couldn't find such a property. When I look at the TBC itself, it has the all utility lines listed under each run so I'm wondering there should be a property that includes utility lines data. I tried one generic method List<> from the class but didn't give me what I needed.

I greatly appreciate any help on this.

First of all, let me thank you for the quick response! What you saw in the long list was NOT from ObjectBrowser and it was a variable watch from a variable that I defined by mistake while Debugging. Here it was my mistake, I created List<Object> and copied everything from Trimble.Vce.Core.Components.Project without implementing the IEnumarable while almost everything in TBC is an IEnumerable Generic Collection.

The original TBC project Collection:

	Name	Value	Type
◢	CurrentTBCproject	{Trimble.Vce.Core.Components.Project}	Trimble.Vce.Core.Components.Project

Below is the collection I defined. I simply copied from Trimble.Vce.Core.Components.Project. Obviously I didn't implement IEnumarable(big mistake) as the original object.

	Name	Value	Type
▶	ProjectConetent	Count = 88	System.Collections.Generic.List<object>

and here is the code created me the trouble:

public class TBCproject
    {
        public List<object> ProjectConetent { get; set; }

        public TBCproject(Project CurrentTBCproject)
        {
            List<object> mycollection = new List<object>();

            foreach (var item in CurrentTBCproject)
            {mycollection.Add(item);}

            this.ProjectConetent = mycollection;

        }

    }

And now by creating a variable watch from CurrentTBCproject which is the TBC's original object (NOT the one create by me) and your hint about the Trimble.Vce.Core.Components.WorldView, I found this:

by enumerating the IEnumerable all of the project elements will be shown up:

and finally, here is the content of the Utility network:

Of course it's another IEnumarable(lol)

You can use the ViewProjectData macro to view the project tree.

Unfortunately, this macro isn't included with the TBC installation anymore.

I just saw your comment

Gary posted a ZIP with uncompiled sample macros a while ago.

Their code is rather old. I keep them outside the MacroCommands folder. But you can copy at least the ViewProjectData over to MacroCommands. It still works in 5.81.

self.B1 to B3 are Trimble.Vce.UI.Controls.Wpf.ComboBoxEntityPicker provided by TBC. That's why they so to say are linked to or know about project by default.

If you use a standard Windows - Listbox it's much more complicate to fill it with values and keep them up to date.

In the code above we tell the ComboBox to only show objects from within the TBC project that match the type we specify.

Each time the project is changed it will trigger automatically an update of the combobox content, which is the beauty of it, you don't really have to do much.
Internally it probably does something like the following each time

for s in allprojectserials:   get object by serial   if object-type == filter-type:      add to list   else:      exclude

As standard the filter will go through the whole project, but you can set the start-container from where on in the tree that filtering should occur

        selectednetwork = self.utilitynetworkslist.SelectedEntity()                self.Tb2.Text=str(selectednetwork.Count)        for o in selectednetwork:            if type(o)==UtilityRun:                  self.LB1.Items.Add(o.Name)                  #for e in o.List<UtilityLine>():                      #self.LB3.Items.Add(e)                              if type(o)==UtilityNode:                  self.LB2.Items.Add(o.Name)        selectednetwork = self.utilitynetworkslist.SelectedEntity()                self.Tb2.Text=str(selectednetwork.Count)        for o in selectednetwork:            if type(o)==UtilityRun:                  self.LB1.Items.Add(o.Name)                              if type(o)==UtilityNode:                  self.LB2.Items.Add(o.Name)

I have three ListBoxes as LB1, LB2 and LB3. I looked through the object browser to find any property which is a collection of Trimble.Vce.Utility.UtilityLine but I couldn't find such a property. When I look at the TBC itself, it has the all utility lines listed under each run so I'm wondering there should be a property that includes utility lines data. I tried one generic method List<> from the class but didn't give me what I needed.

I greatly appreciate any help on this.

You could add normal .Net Framework Controls, but the ones provided by TBC will save you some troubles filling them with content.

Oh! then the secret was the ComboBoxEntityPicker. I was thinking them as an innocent .NET Framework ComboBoxes that don't know anything about the project, so these ComboBoxes are more than that!

Thanks again for educating me in this matter!

self.B1 to B3 are Trimble.Vce.UI.Controls.Wpf.ComboBoxEntityPicker provided by TBC. That's why they so to say are linked to or know about project by default.

If you use a standard Windows - Listbox it's much more complicate to fill it with values and keep them up to date.

In the code above we tell the ComboBox to only show objects from within the TBC project that match the type we specify.

Each time the project is changed it will trigger automatically an update of the combobox content, which is the beauty of it, you don't really have to do much.
Internally it probably does something like the following each time

for s in allprojectserials:   get object by serial   if object-type == filter-type:      add to list   else:      exclude

As standard the filter will go through the whole project, but you can set the start-container from where on in the tree that filtering should occur

Hello Ronny,

Something is like a mystery to me is the last three lines of the script as below:

Looking at these three lines , B1,B2 and B3 are three Wpf Listboxe objects which are the class members and they don't know anything about the current project and on the other side of the equation we just defined an array of various types (UtitlityNetwork, UtilityRun and UtilityLine). If that's the case, then how it knows to pull (UtilityNetwork(s) ,UtilityRun(s) or UtilityLine(s) from the Current Project Container?

I've also placed the content of the project container into the next post. Could you please explain?

Thank you,

Hello Morteza,
a UtilityLine is part of a run. Each run has a unique set of lines.
UtilityRun has a property ContainedSerials which will give you a list with the Lineserials contained in that run.

something like this should work, haven't tested it though

        self.Tb2.Text=str(selectednetwork.Count)        for o in selectednetwork:            if type(o)==UtilityRun:                    self.LB1.Items.Add(o.Name)                    lineserials = o.ContainedSerials                    for s in lineserials:                        line = self.currentProject.Concordance.Lookup(s)                        self.LB3.Items.Add(line.Name)                              if type(o)==UtilityNode:                  self.LB2.Items.Add(o.Name)

If you want all entities in one list why don't you go with Wpf:ComboBoxEntityPicker. That has the method FilterByEntityTypes

In the OnLoad function you can set the filters like this

        self.B1.FilterByEntityTypes = Array[Type]([clr.GetClrType(UtilityNetwork)])        self.B2.FilterByEntityTypes = Array[Type]([clr.GetClrType(UtilityRun)])        self.B3.FilterByEntityTypes = Array[Type]([clr.GetClrType(UtilityLine)])
