How to get the attribute of any label

Hi,

I have the following piece of code to get the attribute [name/text] of any label in a layout but it does not show up in theexecution

foreach(x cv~>shapes
when(x~>objType=="label"
   if(x~>label~>text==net_name
    then
    println( "OK" )
        else
    println( "WRONG" )

**************************************************

net_name is a variable which I am passing through a form.

Question:

How to access the text attribute of any label?

I am aware of getting a name of any net.

Thanks in advance,

Vijay

Hi Vijay

Please use "x~>theLabel". I think it should resolve the problem.

Best regards

Hi Vijay,
what's the version you're working on?
On 6.1.5,
if x is your label,
x~>theLabel will contain it's Text/Label, so you have to check
x~>theLabel, not
x~>label~>text
Hope this helps
kind regards
Stefan

Thanks Quek Stefan. Another query:
How to access the other attributes viz. coordinates, orientation etc.
Is there a leterature where I can clarify these doubts.
Thanks,
Vijay

The quickest way to see what attributes are on a particular object type, is to use this notation:
obj~>?
To see every object and its value:
obj~>??
A quick test would be to select a label in the Virtuoso window, then run this in the CIW:
car(selectedSet())~>??
