SetVSResourceFile

Description

This function does not do anything in Vectorworks 2015 and later. This is because the resource system changed. See more at: [[Vectorworks VWR Resources]]

As of Vectorworks 2015, resources are accessed directly by specifying full resource path (resource identifier) and using GetVWRString

Pre Vectorworks 2015: Sets the active resource file for a script. The resource file is opened for the duration of script execution.

The name of the resource file should be specified without the file extension.

FUNCTION SetVSResourceFile(fileName : STRING): BOOLEAN;
def vs.SetVSResourceFile(fileName):
    return BOOLEAN

Parameters

Name Type Description
fileName STRING The name of the resource file to be opened.

Remarks

Specify the file name without an extension. However, the file must exist in the plug-ins folder WITH an extension. Use .rsr on Windows and .rsrc on the Mac.

Examples

If SetVSResourceFile('IP Resources') THEN BEGIN END;

IF SetVSResourceFile('IP Resources') THEN BEGIN END;

gFlag := GetCustomObjectInfo(gPIOName, ghParm, ghParmRecord, ghWall);
gNew := IsNewCustomObject(kPIOName);
vsoGetEventInfo(gTheEvent, gMsgData);
IF SetVSResourceFile('IP Resources') THEN BEGIN END;
def ResourceIsOK():
	isOK = False
	if vs.SetVSResourceFile( 'IP Resources' ):
		isOK = True
	else:
		Message( 'The "IP Resources" file was not found.' )
