Examples

EX1

void DoMethod_ex1(string strSheetName)
{
        Page pg = Project.Pages();
        double dRet;
        int nRet = pg.DoMethod("layerNumber", strSheetName, &dRet);
        int nRet2 = pg.DoMethod("layerNumber", strSheetName);
}

EX2

void DoMethod_ex2()
{
        Worksheet wks = Project.ActiveLayer();
        int nn = wks.DoMethod("dc.Allow", 1);
        out_int("wks.dc.Allow(1) = ", nn);
}

EX3

}
