MODTABLE

[maxin454]

Hi. I'm trying to use vensim DLL to control the model on my java application. I am wondering how can I control a lookup table using dll. I want the function something like MODTABLE in Venapp. If anyone could help to answer this, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

I don't think there is a MODTABLE equivalent, but you can put a Venapp command button on a button, something like
"SIMULATE>1TABCHG|LOOKUP TABLE NAME".

You can also use a VECTOR LOOKUP on an array of constants in place of the lookup, and set the constant values from your application.

Thank you, both Tony and Tom. That really helps a lot.

I have another question and hope you could help to answer. In Venapp, I can use Causes Tree, Sketch (viewing my model structure), and Graph function. Is there way to utilize these functions as well in my java application?

Thanks again.

As I recall, that's tough, because of limitations in passing window handles. The documentation states, "generally references to windows just won't work" - I don't know if there are any exceptions. I think you'd have to work in C or VB to take advantage of the tool commands.

That's too bad. It would be a plus if I could utilize those tools.

But, thanks again, Tom.
