Origin Ver. and Service Release: Origin 8 SR6
Operating System: Win XP

Hi,

I want to store additional information in a Worksheet like a type number, so that I can
check at every time, which type of data it holds, for example.
I dont want to use the name for this issue, because the name should stay human readable.
Is there another data member in Worksheet class (or perhabs Layer class) I can use for my intention?

I found, that PageBase class for example provides the method PageBase::GetType()
Would be great if other classes, like Worksheet would have a data member, where user could
store a number, or a vector<int> to store more than one number, to get additional information about
this object, at any time.

Anybody an idea to succeed with this?

Hi TreeNode,

Maybe you can try to use the methods about storage in OriginObject class, such as GetBinaryStorage, PutBinaryStorage, etc. You can see some sample code here.

Thank you very much!
It works fine. But I think there is a bug, when strStorageName contains 'space'
like:
strStorageName = "Data info";

Then the PutBinaryStorage() method fails. When using this name:
strStorageName = "DataInfo";

everything is ok.

Hi TreeNode,

This is by designed, it does not allow containing space in storage name. We have updated our our document about this, see here. Thank you for pointing this out.
