data socket server api's

[dbru]

Is it possible to get all the Data Items currently available from a DataSocketServer? It would be very useful to interrogate a DataSocketServer to get all the Data Items programatically. The Data Socket Server Manager application (cwdssmgr.exe) is able to extract this information. I don't see any methods in the DataSocketServer Class that supports this.

Hey Dan,
Unfortunately, your observation was correct.  There is no public method to get all data items being hosted by a DataSocket server.  There is the SelectUrl method which will allow you to select objects through a dialog based interface.  This is really the only way that I have seen to get all the data items.

Thanks,

I will have to add my opinion of how "Unfortunate" that is, and further that with a "poo-poo" on the engineers that didn't/don't see that as a necessary feature.
