API:how to get the bom tables of a view?

Now I use VC++ 6.0 and Solidworks 2005 SP5.0 to develop a solidworks
integration, but I got a problem: Suppose there is a drawing which
contains only one view, then in the solidworks menu, execute
Insert>>Tables>>Bill of materials, select current view and press OK,
add a BOM table(Annotation Table) for the view, so how can I use SDK(SW
API) to get the Bom table of the view, that is to say I want to get all
the Bom tables of view by SW api.

Thanks,

 

Views have to be associated with a BOM it is a property of the view.
Creating a BOM off of a view as you describe doesn't link the view to
the BOM. You can check for the connection.
this is VB code but the C++



status = View->GetKeepLinkedToBOMName ( &Name)
status = View->GetKeepLinkedToBOM ( &Linked)

Then you can recurse the drawing for the BOM or possibly select by
name.
use the following example from the help

'Get Table Annotation and Contents Example (VB)'

This is written in VB but the concepts are the same nomatter what
language you are using.

 

Ok. Now we have got the BOM Table's name of the selected view. But the
problem is: how do we get the content of the BOM table through the
table's name? For example: a drawing file has 2 sheets, sheet-1 and
sheet-2, and sheet-1 has 3 views, view-1, view-2, view-3, and each view
has a BOM table, BOM Table-1, BOM Table-2, BOM Table-3. Now we select
view-2 of sheet-1, the BOM table of this view is BOM Table-2, and as
you said, we can get the BOM Name of the view. But we don't know how to
get the content of the BOM table through the table's name. We get the
content with the following code:
CComPtr<ISheet> iSheet;
DrawingDoc->IGetCurrentSheet(&iSheet);
CComPtr<IView> iView1, iView2;
DrawingDoc->IGetFirstView(&iView1);
CComPtr<ITableAnnotation> iTableAnt;
iView1->GetFirstTableAnnotation(&iTableAnt);
while(iTableAnt != NULL)
{// this loop can get all the BOM Table of this sheet. but we can get
selected view's BOM Table. That's the problem!
CComBSTR strTableTitle;
iTableAnt->get_Title(&strTableTitle); //this title we get is "BOM
Table", but not "BOM-1", "BOM-2", or "BOM-3";
long lTableType;
iTableAnt->get_Type(&lTableType);
if (lTableType == swTableAnnotation_BillOfMaterials)
{
......//we can get the content.
}
else
{
CComPtr<ITableAnnotation> iTableAnt2;
iTableAnt->GetNext(&iTableAnt2);
iTableAnt = iTableAnt2;
if(iTableAnt2 != NULL) iTableAnt2.Release();
}
if (iTableAnt != NULL) iTableAnt.Release();

iView1->IGetNextView(&iView2);
iView2->GetFirstTableAnnotation(&iTableAnt);

Now iTableAnt == NULL, does it mean that we cannot get the BOM table of
the view2? But actually, we have already get it for view1. Am i right,
or I use the incorrect method?.

This while loop can get all the BOM Table of this sheet. but we can get
selected view's BOM Table. That's the problem! So what i want to know
is that how i get the content of view2's BOM table?
