Detailed Description

Typedef Documentation

typedef int(* ScanFunc_EachElement)(MSElementDescrP edP, CallbackArgP arg)

Callback function used by mdlScan_extended.

Parameters
[in]edPcurrent element
[in]argarg provided by caller
See also
mdlScan_extended
Returns
This function should return either SUCCESS or ERROR. SUCCESS indicates that the scanning process can continue and ERROR causes the scanning process to be halted and a return code of BUFF_FULL to be returned to the calling application.
Remarks
Required Library: mdlbltin.lib
typedef struct Bentley::DgnPlatform::ScanRange ScanRange

The scan range used for mdlScanCriteria.

Function Documentation

int mdlScan_extended ( void *  scanBuf,
int *  scanSize,
UInt32 *  eosFilePos,
ScanFunc_EachElement  iteratorFunc,
CallbackArgP  iteratorArg 
) 

mdlScan_extended provides the same functionality as the mdlScan_file

function, but also provides the ability for the application program to receive control after each element which meets the scanning criteria instead of waiting for the scanner to return the information after each call.

That is, the complete file can be scanned in a single call to this function.

Parameters
[out]scanBufoutput buffer
[in,out]scanSizesize of buffer, num words returned
[out]eosFilePosfile position where we stopped scanning
[in]iteratorFuncfunction called for each accepted element
[in]iteratorArgargument passed to iteratorFunc
Remarks
When the iteratorFunc argument is a NULL pointer, the accepted elements (and/or element addresses) are copied to the output buffer pointed to by scanBuffer. scanSize should be set to the size in words of scanBuffer, contains the number of words returned in scanBuffer on return. eofBlock contains the block number and eofByte contains the byte position of the next element to be scanned upon return. These values can be used to calculate the file position of the next element to be processed by using the DGN_FILEPOS (contained in msdefs.h) macro as shown below:
filePos = DGN_FILEPOS(eofBlock, eofByte);
Remarks
iteratorFunc is a pointer to a function which will be called by MicroStation for each element which meets the scanning criteria specified in the scanlist. If the value of this parameter is NULL, then element information is returned in the scanBuffer parameter. If this value is non-NULL, then the function specified is called once for each element which meets the scan criteria and no informtion is returned in scanBuffer and scanSize.
To use the iteratorFunc, make sure the ITERATEFUNC bit is set in the extendedType member of the scan list.
Returns
mdlScan_extended returns SUCCESS if the scan terminates normally. If an error occurs, mdlScan_extended returns one of the following error values:
Value Reason
10 End of file reached (END_OF_DGN).
11 scanBuffer full before end of file, (BUFF_FULL).
65 Bad file number.
66 Physical end of file encountered before MicroStation end of file mark.
67 Improper scan list.
68 Invalid element encountered.
See also
mdlScan_file
Remarks
Required Library: mdlbltin.lib
int mdlScan_file ( void *  outBuff,
int *  returnSize,
int  buffSize,
unsigned long *  filePos 
) 

mdlScan_file scans the design file according to the criteria

established in the last call to mdlScan_initialize.

When the scan completes, *filepos is set to the start of the next element in the file.

Remarks
The accepted elements (and/or element addresses) are copied to the output buffer pointed to by scanBuffer. bufferSize should be set to the size in bytes of scanBuffer. MicroStation sets the integer pointed to by acceptedSize to the number of words returned in scanBuffer.
Parameters
[out]outBuffaccepted data
[out]returnSizeamount of information in scanBuffer
[in]buffSizesize of scanBuffer
[out]filePosending file position
Returns
mdlScan_file returns one of the following values:
Value Meaning
10 End of file reached, (END_OF_DGN).
11 scanBuffer full before end of file, (BUFF_FULL).
65 Bad file number.
66 Physical end of file encountered before MicroStation end of file mark.
67 Improper scan list.
68 Invalid element encountered.
The values END_OF_DGN and BUFF_FULL are encountered during normal scan operation. The other return values are returned when scan errors are encountered.

Remarks
Required Library: mdlbltin.lib
int mdlScan_initialize ( DgnModelRefP  modelRef,
ExtScanListP  scanListP 
)

Load a scan list to the MicroStation design file scanner for subsequent calls to mdlScan_file.

This function is obsolete and remains only for backward compatability. New devlopment should use the mdlScanCriteria_* functions.

Parameters
[in]modelRefThe model to be scanned.
[in]scanListPThe scan criteria to be used. Scanlist is a structure defined in scanner.h. It consists of members that determine elements that are returned in subsequent calls to mdlScan_file. The meanings of the members are as follows:
Member name Meaning
sllen This member defines the length of the scan list. For compatibility with the IGDS scan list, bit 12 can be set (as it must be on the VAX). The easiest way to set it properly is to call mdlScan_initScanlist before setting other scanlist members.
scantype This member sets various parameters for the scan, enabling the search criteria and controlling the type of information that the scan returns. Each bit in the scantype member enables a scan criterion or controls the information returned. The bits may be ORed to enable several criteria. The bit values are defined in scanner.h, and are named: ELEMDATA, NESTCELL, PICKCELL, PROPCLAS, GRPHGRP, MULTI, BOTH, ONEELEM, ATTRENT, ATTROCC, STOPSECT, LEVELS and ELEMTYPE. The ELEMDATA and BOTH bits control whether the scanner returns file positions, actual elements, or BOTH. When BOTH is set, both file positions and the actual elements are set regardless of the setting of ELEMDATA. When neither BOTH or ELEMDATA is set, file positions only are returned. When the ONEELEM bit is set, the scanner finds one element only and then returns BUFF_FULL(11). The effect of the other bits are discussed below.
tplval tplmsk The tplval and tplmsk members are used together to cause the scanner to return only elements of a given type or given level (or both). The scanner takes the first word of each element, ANDs it with tplmsk, and compares it to tplval. The element is accepted only if these values are equal. The scanner always performs this check; to disable the check, set tplval and tplmsk to zero.
xlowlim ylowlim zlowlim xhighlim yhighlim zhighlim These members define a cube in the design file. If the element range intersects this cube, the element is returned. Otherwise, it is rejected. For historical reasons, the range values in the scan list are stored in an unusual format (see mdlCnv_toScanFormat). The range check is always performed. To effectively disable this check, set each dimension's range using values from -2,147,483,648 (0x80000000) to +2,147,483,647 (0x7fffffff). The easiest way to set these values is to use mdlScan_noRangeCheck.
pcl.propvalpch.propmsk pcl.cell0 pch.cell1 The structure's two union members specify element properties and a cell name, depending on whether the PROPCLAS or PICKCELL bit is set. If the PROPCLAS bit is set, the scanner checks the element's properties and class. The scanner checks properties by joining pch.propmsk with the element's properties bits using the AND operator and then comparing the result with pcl.propval. If these values do not match, the element is rejected. The scanner checks the class by checking the bit corresponding to the element class in the clasmask member. If the bit is not set, the element is rejected. If the PICKCELL bit is set, the pcl.cell0 and pch.cell1 members are compared to the low and high words of the cell name stored in element types 1 and 2. If no exact match is found, the element is rejected.
grgroup This member is set to the graphic group number for which data is needed. If the GRPHGRP bit in scantype is set, elements that do not match the graphic group member are rejected.
sector offset These members generate a file position where the scan will start. Use the DGN_BLOCK and DGN_OFFSET members to convert from a file position to sector and offset.
entity occurnce These members selects elements according to the attribute data attached to them. If the ATTRENT or ATTROCC bit is set in scantype, only elements with attribute data will be returned. The entity value and/or occurrence value must match. If they do not, the elements will be rejected. These checks are only valid for DMRS type linkages and are of very limited use. They are included for compatibilty with legacy applications only.
levmask This member determines the levels of elements that will be returned. Bit 0 of levmask[0] must be set for element on level 1 to be returned. Bit 14 of levmask[3] must be set for elements on level 63 to be returned. To check for elements on level 64 (stored as level 0 in the design file), set bit 15 of levmask[3]. To enable level checking, set the LEVELS bit in scantype.
typmask This member determines the element types that will be returned. Bit 0 of typmask[0] must be set for element type 1 to be returned. Bit 14 of typemask[8] must be set for element type 127 to be returned. The MDL scan list contains eight words of type masks rather than the four words in IGDS.
stopsector This member defines the sector where the scan will stop. This member is effective only if the STOPSECT bit is set in scantype. This feature is rarely used.
extendedType Certain bits of this member enable some additional features of the scanner. These bits may be individually set by ORing together the values RETURN3D, FILEPOS, EXTATTR and ITERATEFUNC defined in scanner.h. When the RETURN3D bit is set, the elements returned from a 2D file will be returned in the 3D format. When the FILEPOS bit is set, values that would normally be returned as unsigned short sector, offset pairs are returned in a single unsigned long file position instead. When the EXTATTR bit is set, the extAttrBuf member of the scan list is used. The ITERATEFUNC member is used in conjunction with the mdlScan_extended function.
exrange This member is an array of extended range blocks that can be used if more than one range cube in the design plane is needed (as it frequently is in multi-view updates). If the MULTI bit is set in scantype and the sllen member is large enough to contain one or more extended range blocks, the scanner returns all elements that pass all other enabled criteria and meet any enabled scan ranges. The scanner steps through the extended range blocks until it passes the end of the enable ranges (as determined from sllen) or encounters a range with xlowlim set to a positive number and xhighlim set to a negative number.
extAttrBuf This member points to a structure of type ExtendedAttBuf, and provides a flexible mechanism for selecting elements based on their nongraphical attributes. The EXTATTR bit of the extendedType member must be set to enable this test. The ExtendedAttBuf structure is defined in scanner.h as:
typedef struct
{
short numWords;
Ushort extAttData[32];
} ExtendedAttrBuf;
The numWords member of this structure is set to the number of words in the attribute data that are to be considered at the beginning of each attribute linkage. The extAttData array specifies how the scanner is to test those numWords, which it does as follows: The first word of each attribute linkage is ANDed with extAttData[0] and the result compared with extAttData[numWords]. If the value matches, the check continues by ANDing the second word of the linkage with extAttData[1] and comparing with extAttData[numWords+1], etc. If the values for all numWords of any attribute linkage match, the element is accepted. Otherwise the element is rejected.
Remarks
The PROPCLAS and PICKCELL bits in scantype are mutually exclusive, and the BOTH bit overrides the value of the ELEMDATA bit. The effect of NESTCELL bit is as follows:
If NESTCELL is set and a complex header is rejected, all of the complex element's component elements are rejected also. Similarly, all component elements of the complex element are returned when the complex header is accepted. When only element data is being returned, the scanner is always in nest mode. When file positions are being returned (BOTH set or ELEMDATA clear) in nest mode, the scanner will return only complex header information and never any of the component elements. When file positions are being returned in unnest mode, the scanner can return elements of a complex even if the complex header is rejected. It can also reject elements that are components of a complex element, even if the complex header is accepted.
Returns
The mdlScan_initialize function returns SUCCESS if the scanner accepts the scan list. It returns BAD_FILE if the modelRef is not valid; and it returns MDLERR_BADSCANLIST if the size in scanlist->sllen is wrong.

void mdlScan_noRangeCheck ( ExtScanListP  scanlist) 

The MicroStation design file scanning utility mdlScan_file is used

for several purposes.

mdlScan_setDrawnElements, mdlScan_singleViewClass, mdlScan_noRangeCheck and mdlScan_viewRange ease the task of establishing scan criteria. mdlScan_noRangeCheck sets the range members of the scan list pointed to by scanlist (scanlist->xlowlim, scanlist->xhighlim, scanlist->ylowlim, scanlist->yhighlim, scanlist->zlowlim, scanlist->zhighlim) so that the scan list encompasses the entire design cube. When this scan list is used in subsequent calls to mdlScan_file, no elements are rejected based on range criteria. Since the scanner always checks element ranges, make sure you call mdlScan_noRangeCheck if you do want to accept elements regardless of their range. scanlist->yhighlim, scanlist->zlowlim, scanlist->zhighlim) to find only elements in view viewNumber and from file fileNumber.

Parameters
[in]scanlistscan list
Returns
mdlScan_setDrawnElements, mdlScan_noRangeCheck, mdlScan_singleViewClass and mdlScan_viewRange return no values.

PFScanElemDscrCallback  pCallbackFunc,
CallbackArgP  pCallbackArg,
DgnPlatform::DgnModelSections  modelSections,
DgnFileP  pDgnFileObj 
)

Iterates through all models of a given file, scanning each in turn.

The scan criteria tests are applied, including element category. The dictionary model elements are scanned only once as part of the first model. Only scan criteria with iterate return types are acceptable. The callback function can return SCANALL_ABORT_SCAN to abort the entire scan, or SCANALL_ABORT_CURRENT_MODEL to abort the scan of the current model. SUCCESS should be returned to continue scanning. Note that this function will load all models in the file, and as such should be avoided. Usually only visible elements are needed, so scanning the active model ref or loaded model refs using mdlDgnFileObj_traverseRootModelRefs is prefereable.

Returns
SUCCESS if the operation is completed successfully.
Parameters
[in,out]inScPscan criteria and context

int mdlScanCriteria_setAttributeTest ( ScanCriteriaP  scP,
int  entity,
long  occurrence,
ExtendedAttrBuf *  extAttrBuf 
) 

The mdlScanCriteria_setAttributeTest function is used to enable or disable

various attribute tests.

Parameters
[in]scPis the scan criteria structure.
[in]entityis the entity test value. If this is 0, the entity text is disabled.
[in]occurrenceis the occurrence test value. If this is 0, no occurrence test is performed.
[in]extAttrBufis a pointer to a structure of type ExtendedAttBuf, and provides a flexible mechanism for selecting elements based on their nongraphical attributes. The ExtendedAttBuf structure is defined as:
struct ExtendedAttrBuf
{
short numWords;
Ushort extAttData[32];
} ;
The numWords member of this structure is set to the number of words in the attribute data that are to be considered at the beginning of each attribute linkage. The extAttData array specifies how the scanner is to test those numWords, which it does as follows: The first word of each attribute linkage is ANDed with extAttData[0] and the result compared with extAttData[numWords]. If the value matches, the check continues by ANDing the second word of the linkage with extAttData[1] and comparing with extAttData[numWords+1], etc. If the values for all numWords of any attribute linkage match, the element is accepted. Otherwise the element is rejected. If this argument is NULL, no extended attribute testing is done.
Remarks
It is possible for the extended attribute selection to work with buffers larger than the 32 words defined in the ExtendedAttrBuf structure. You can define your own structure that start with a short defining the number of words to be considered, followed by an array of Ushort's as described above. The algorithm as described above then simply works on the larger buffer.

StatusInt mdlScanCriteria_setElmDscrCallback ( ScanCriteriaP  scP,
PFScanElemDscrCallback  callbackFunc,
CallbackArgP  callbackArg 
)

Setup a per-descriptor callback function for scan results.

The callback function is called once for each element descriptor that is accepted by the scan. The callback function should return SUCCESS to continue the scan or any other value to terminate the scan. If the scan is terminated by the callback function, the return code from mdlScanCriteria_scan is BUFF_FULL. The element descriptor that is passed to the callback function should not be modified or freed by the callback function. The callback function can duplicate the element descriptor, modify the duplicate, and then rewrite it to the file, if desired. The duplicate should then be freed, of course. If the callback function does modify and rewrite element descriptors, and the element descriptor might change size as a result of the modification, the programmer should take measures to make sure that the program doesn't later process that same element descriptor again, modifying it again and thus causing an infinite loop. The best way to do that is to make the scanner stop at the original EOF by using mdlScanCriteria_setStopFilePos.

Parameters
[in]scPpoints to the DgnPlatform::ScanCriteria to set the callback function for
[in]callbackFuncfunction pointer, called with parameter list callBackFunc (edP, callbackArg, DgnPlatform::ScanCriteria *scP)

The mdlScanCriteria_setReturnType function is used to establish the type of

information that should be returned by the scan operation.

Parameters
[in]scPis the scan criteria structure containing the information about the scan operation.
[in]returnTypeis one of the return type selectors. Valid values for this argument are: MSSCANCRIT_RETURN_FILEPOS MSSCANCRIT_RETURN_ELEMENTDATA MSSCANCRIT_RETURN_POSANDDATA MSSCANCRIT_RETURN_UNIQUEID MSSCANCRIT_ITERATE_ELMDSCR MSSCANCRIT_ITERATE_ELMREF
[in]oneElementOnlyindicates whether the scan operation should stop after a single element is found that matches the scan criteria.
[in]nestCellsenables/disables the return of complex elements (e.g. nested cells) that contain elements matching the scan criteria. Set this to false to disable the return of complete complex elements, set it to true to enable this feature.
Remarks
If nestCells is set and a complex header is rejected, all of the complex element's component elements are rejected also. Similarly, all component elements of the complex element are returned when the complex header is accepted. If the returnType is set to MSSCANCRIT_RETURN_ELEMENTDATA or MSSCANCRIT_ITERATE_xxx, than the scan always operates with nestCells set to true. When file positions or uniqueIDs are returned with nestCells true, the scan will return only complex header information and never any of the component elements. When file positions or uniqueIDs are returned with nestCells false, the scan can return component elements of a complex even if the complex header is rejected. It can also reject component elements of a complex element, even if the complex header is accepted. If returnType is MSSCANCRIT_ITERATE_ELMDSCR, set the iterator function using mdlScanCriteria_setElmDscrCallback. If returnType is MSSCANCRIT_ITERATE_ELMRef, set the iterator function using mdlScanCriteria_setElemRefCallback.
