Programatically adding field in array element

[ojohnsen79]

Hello.

I'm trying to make a generic "engine" to generate test reports/certificates.

I've made a custom data type container Report Element, which I've used to make a local variable array of Report Elements called Report Element Array.

The data type contains some generic fields (element title string, element type string, etc.), and a container Element Data.

The idea is to increment the Report Element Array with Report Elements, and then fill the Element Data container with the fields from e.g. a Table Element container.

Either that,  or to just add a field in the Report Element with the data type Table Element.

But I can't find a way to add fields in a container programmatically.

Anybody knows if this is even possible?

Found it!

Using a Statement step, pointing to the array of Report Elements by using the method NewSubProperty.

Ended up using the following statement:

Parameters.Report_Element_Array.InsertElements(GetNumElements(Parameters.Report_Element_Array),1,0),
Parameters.Report_Element_Array[GetNumElements(Parameters.Report_Element_Array)-1].NewSubProperty("Element_Data",PropValType_NamedType,False,"NSE_Report_Table",0)
