Discussion

Items like graphical elements and variables can have attributes associated with them. Each attribute can have a value. For example, a line’s attributes might include linestyle, line thickness, color, and others. This function simply lists all the attributes associated with a specified item in a VDA Tool.

To obtain a list of all the items currently associated with a VDA Tool, use TmEnumerateGraels. To obtain a list of variables, use TmEnumerateVars.
