How can i get access to a TABLE IN A TEXTOBJECT

Question

Hello,
i want to edit the textobject1 on an existing report file.
In DIAdem 8 the script was for example:
    call GraphObjopen("textobject1")
      call TxtBufOpen 
        TxtBufFont="Arial"
        TxtBufFontSize=10
        call TxtBufNextLine
        x = Round(chdx(1,Cno("myErg_" & name)),2)
        call TxtBufTabCellSet(cstr(x),4,1)
Log file:
   "An der aktuellen Cursorposition befindet sich keine Tabelle!"
   "at the current cursor position there is no table"
How does it work in 10.2 to get access to a table in a textobject? There is no documentation for this case.
Regards  Bernard

Hello Bernhard,
during the last releases, a lot of the DIAdem modules have been completely revised which in some cases may have led to some old variables becoming obsolete.
To find out which variables a particular dialog is using you have two options: Open the configuration dialog and use the help button to gat a context sensitive help explaining all available parameters and options. Alternatively, press Ctrl&A inside the dialog to copy all variables to the Windows clipboard. Doing so with a Textobject and pasting the clipboard content into a script you will get the following:
Call GraphObjOpen("Text1")
  '------------------- Text -----------------------------
  TxtTxt           ="this is text"
  TxtFont          ="Arial"
  TxtSize          =3
  TxtColor         ="black"
  TxtColorRGB      =33554432
  TxtBold          =0
  TxtItal          =0
  TxtUndl          =0
  TxtStrOut        =0
  TxtFrame         =0
  TxtBackColor     =""
  TxtBackRGB       =0
  '------------------- Position -----------------------
  TxtPosX          =40.17
  TxtPosY          =62.39
  TxtAng           =0
  TxtRelPos        ="r-bot."
Call GraphObjClose("Text1")
