VBA Formatting

Does anyone know how iFix relates a CFixFormat object for a Datalink to the FixDataLink object?  I am iterating through lots of datalinks and would like to change the formatting on them but can't seem to figure out how to access the parameters in the Format object itself.

Thanks,

Chip

  • The cFixFormat object is an object within the FixDataLink .

    If you use 

    set o = findlocalobject(datalink, "format")

    where datalink is your datalink object and provided the name of the format object is like "format" then you'll return the format object as o.

    Then you can change the format parameter of the format object, or use the setnumericformat  or setstringformat methods of the format object.
