Count Method

cPropFrame Count Method

CSi API ETABS 2015

Retrieves the total number of defined frame section properties in the model.

Namespace: ETABS2015
Assembly: ETABS2015 (in ETABS2015.dll) Version: 15.0.0.0 (15.0.0.0)

Syntax

int Count(
	eFramePropType PropType = 
)

int Count(
	eFramePropType PropType = 
)

Function Count ( _
	Optional PropType As eFramePropType =  _
) As Integer

Function Count ( _
	Optional PropType As eFramePropType =  _
) As Integer

int Count(
	eFramePropType PropType = 
)

int Count(
	eFramePropType PropType = 
)

Parameters

PropType (Optional): Type: ETABS2015 eFramePropType
This optional value is one of the items in the eFramePropType enumeration.
If no value is input for PropType, a count is returned for all frame section properties in the model regardless of type.

Return Value

Returns the total number of defined frame section properties in the model. If desired, counts can be returned for all frame section properties of a specified type in the model.
