Accessing Object values with DLL

I create an Object with 3 variables inside at "MAIN:/project/exec/commandlist/zohoNumber/zoho_var", i want to access those values with code (I use DLL Maker) using getvarstr() but i get an error when I try to do it, I want to store the value "site_1" in a string. Do you know how to access those values?

Thanks!

When you traverse the tree into object data by path, you use the > character instead of /.

From the DLL Maker, you can use the getnodestr() command to get an arbitrary node's value as a string. getvarstr() only gets the value of nodes in an object's 'variables' attribute.

treenode test = node("MAIN:/project/exec/commandlist/zohoNumber/zoho_var>site");
string site = getnodestr(test);

The secondary tree inside an object is its attribute tree. Your code above would look more like this:

string site = test.find(">site").value;

If you want to use getvarstr, you'd have to add an attribute called "variables" to the attribute tree, and put the values you want in that node.
