API FCD.GetPathHandle

	GetPathHandle
Gets a FCD paths handle, suitable for traversal with the Tree API
- STRING	PathName
The '.' separated path through the FCD to look in
- HANDLE	StartPoint
The handle of an existing FCD path to start the search
- HANDLE	Return

Detailed description

This will get a handle suitable for traversal by the Tree API which is a collection of functions suitable for traversing the FCD files.

FCD files are XML files. The PathName must be a list of items, not including the XML root tag of the tags where the XML attributes are located. So to extract a handle to the FLASH memory detailes Pathname="device.memory".

If the StartPoint is provided then it is assumed this is a handle to a previous call to GetPathHandle, and this path is prepended to PathName. So if StartPoint is a handle to "device.configuration" and PathName="settings.setting" then the full path found will be "device.configuration.settings.setting".

Examples

Calling in a calculation

• Declare a variable 'result' of type HANDLE
• Add to a calculation icon:

  result = ::FCD.GetPathHandle("pathname", startpoint)
