Hi,
is there a possibility to read back an object name?
It's possible to read the text,
e.g. like a button with
%A=this.text$;
type The text on this button is %A;
I was looking for something like:
%A=this.name$;
type You pressed on %A;
but it seems not to be possible. But is there a way?
Thanks,
Tilman.

object.name$ will set the object name but you can not Read it back. Maybe you can explain why you need this and we can think of a work around method.

If you are running Origin 7, you can use OriginC ...
The following example was lifted from the Help-Programming section
// For this example to run, a graph window with the name "Graph1" must exist in the project.
void run_GraphObject_GetName()
{
// Create and attach a graph layer from "Graph1":
GraphLayer gl("Graph1");
GraphObject grobj;
// Loop over all the graphic objects in the layer and for each of them
// display its name:
foreach (grobj in gl.GraphObjects)
{
out_str(grobj.GetName());
}
}

I have the same problem than tib, I need to get the object name.
I created a vertical line on a graph window using the draw command and then I wrote a script in the label control window, which redraws the line at a given position each time the user moves the line (Script, run after "Moved"). The problem is that I can not set the new x position with the "this.x" property, it just does not work. I have to use the "draw -n ObjectName -l -v NewX" command, and for this, I need the object name.
If I have more than one of those vertical lines, I would have to modify the script of each object manually...
Any suggestions about how to redraw the line without knowing its name?
Thanks, Roland

Hi Roland,
It seems like you already have one solution... name the line yourself by creating it with draw -n MyLine. Another solution is to select the object with the mouse and use the labtalk command select -g O to assign its name to the string variable %O.
