create a Global Table in flexscript

Is it possible to create new tables inside part of a code. Then to destroy in another code. The number of tables created will depend on an integer in a label called "DAYS TO RUN". I want to have data per day on each table. I tried insertcopy but didn't work.

Software Version:

FlexSim 18.2.2

global table flexscript

5 |100000

@Enrique Elizaga If I want to do something like this I look through the tree to find how FlexSim did it. In this case there is actually an application command for it:

treenode table = applicationcommand("addglobaltable");

Great @steven.hamoen, it worked! Can you give me more detail on "looking through the tree". This will give me lots of options. For example, when the table is created it opens it up on a new window. How can i close that window through flexscript...

@Enrique Elizaga

If you open the view tree you can search through the tree in the search box in the quick properties. So I looked for Toolbox and drilled down till I found the table add option

Hi @steven.hamoen,

I searched in the same way as you suggested through the view tree, but I was not able to find which the command closes the window of the new table, can you add it, please?

Thanks.

Manuel.

Try this

treenode globalTablesNode = model().find("Tools/GlobalTables");
treenode newTable = createcopy(globalTablesNode.first,globalTablesNode,0);
newTable.name = "myNewTable";

It copies the first global table of the global tables.

If you know the name of the table for example "MyKnownTableName"

globalTablesNode.subnodes["MyKnownTableName"]

is the reference to this table object.

After entering the table, how do I assign the dimensions by flexscript?

Hi, do you mean the table size? Doing this.

MyKnownTableName.setSize(5,5);

Or whatever size you want.
