How can I retrieve Title1 of open plot from C# program?

Post by mikeb »

My c# code sends a

Code: Select all

dplot.DPlot_Command(...) 
to open a file in DPLOT.
How can I then retrieve the Title1 text? in my C# code?

My C is 25 years rusty, never learned much C++, and my C# understanding is non-existent.

I am getting an error
cannot convert from char[] to'System.Text.StringBuilder'
I'm Googling as fast as I can, but not finding the answer.

Never mind.

I found a good example in C# ctest1 sample programs. I should be able to make it from here.

Thanks,
mike
