Function SetColumnType( _
   ByVal Index As Integer, _
   ByVal Type As Integer _
) As Boolean

Dim instance As ITableAnnotation
Dim Index As Integer
Dim Type As Integer
Dim value As Boolean
 
value = instance.SetColumnType(Index, Type)

bool SetColumnType( 
   int Index,
   int Type
)

bool SetColumnType( 
&   int Index,
&   int Type
) 

Parameters

Index

Index of the column whose type to set

Type

Column type as defined by swTableColumnTypes_e

Return Value

The index for both rows and columns is 0-based.

When you set a column type, the title is automatically changed to match that column type. If you change the column type to be a custom property column, then the column title is empty and you must set the column title using ITableAnnotation::SetColumnTitle.

A BOM table column cannot be changed to a Quantity type column in the SolidWorks user interface. This method is consistent with the user interface and should return a failure; that is, a value < 0.
