AutoCAD 2014 API, Changing Tables Content

[John Allan]

Hi All,

I am trying to access the Table objects within a drawing and can only seem to list "BLOCK_RECORDS".
What am I doing wrong, have I not drilled down enough ? here's the code below, any input would be greatly appreciated.

        
privatestaticvoid BlockIterator_Method()
        {            
Database database = HostApplicationServices.WorkingDatabase;
using (Transaction transaction = database.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())
            {   
BlockTable blkTable = (BlockTable)transaction.GetObject(database.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForRead);
//Find the table
foreach (ObjectId acObjTable in blkTable)
                {
if (acObjTable.ObjectClass.DxfName.ToUpper() == "ACAD_TABLE")
                    {
Table acTable = (Table)acObjTable.GetObject(OpenMode.ForWrite, true, true);
MgdAcApplication.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor.WriteMessage("Found: " + acTable.TableStyleName.ToUpper());                
//if (acTable.TableStyleName.ToUpper() == "SampleStyle")
//{
// Set the cell content here
//}
                    }
                }   
                transaction.Commit();
            }
        }

I have put this together from various sources, here's links to them:

Hi All,

I seem to have fixed it, the table is a BlockTableRecord within the BlockTable....
This is what worked:

        private static void Table_Locator()
        {
            Database db = HostApplicationServices.WorkingDatabase;
            using (Transaction tr = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())
            {
                BlockTable bt1 = (BlockTable)tr.GetObject(db.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForRead);

                //Find the table
                foreach (ObjectId objID in bt1)
                {
                    BlockTableRecord bt2 = (BlockTableRecord)objID.GetObject(OpenMode.ForWrite);
                    ObjectIdCollection objIdColl = bt2.GetBlockReferenceIds(true, true);

                    foreach (ObjectId subObj in bt2)
                    {
                        if (subObj.ObjectClass.DxfName.ToUpper() == "ACAD_TABLE")
                        {

                            Table acTable = (Table)subObj.GetObject(OpenMode.ForWrite, true, true);
                            MgdAcApplication.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor.WriteMessage("Found: " + acTable.TableStyleName.ToUpper());

                            //if (acTable.TableStyleName.ToUpper() == "SampleStyle")
                            //{
                            // Set the cell content here
                            //}
                        }
                    }
                }   
                tr.Commit();
            }
        }

Hope that helps anyone having the same trouble...
