Question

Dim box As MultiTextBox = New MultiTextBox

Dim i As Integer
for i = 1 to 3 Step 1

    lengthWidthHeight = MultiTextBox.GetItemValues()

Next i

This excerpt of code is using the NXOpen API. In the NXOpen API, the MultiTextBox class is public. However, when I compile the code I get the message:

‘NXOpen.UIStyler.MultiTextBox.Protected Sub New(ptr As System.IntPtr)’ is not accessible >in this context because it is ‘Protected’

My question is, how am I getting an error about protected scope? Could it also be that the API documentation is incorrect?

Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

It is that constructor that is protected, not the text box itself. You must use a different, public constructor or some sort of factory method provided by the class (if available).
