Example

Remarks

In line with Microsoft recommendations for OLE support, the file summary information for SOLIDWORKS documents is written as an OLE property set into a stream named "\005Summary Information" off the root storage of the SOLIDWORKS document's compound file.

NOTES:

  • MFC does not currently provide classes that manage summary information. However, the DRAWCLI application shipped with Visual C++ does include a sample implementation, in the form of the class CSummInfo, which you can use as an example when implementing your own. This class is used by the document class CDrawDoc. DRAWCLI also includes property pages for displaying and modifying Summary Information.

  • Some dates are localized.

Option Explicit

 

Sub main()

    Dim swApp           As SldWorks.SldWorks

    Dim swModel         As SldWorks.ModelDoc2

    Dim Text1           As String

    Dim Text2           As String

    Dim Text3           As String

    Dim Text4           As String

 

    Set swApp = CreateObject("SldWorks.Application")

    Set swModel = swApp.ActiveDoc

    

    ' All of these date strings will be localized according to

    ' the current regional settings

    

    ' These two dates (day, month, and year)

    ' will be in numeric format and localized

    Text1 = swModel.SummaryInfo(swSumInfoCreateDate)

    Text2 = swModel.SummaryInfo(swSumInfoSaveDate)

    

    ' These two dates will be the same as displayed in the

    ' File, Properties menu in text format

    Text3 = swModel.SummaryInfo(swSumInfoCreateDate2)

    Text4 = swModel.SummaryInfo(swSumInfoSaveDate2)

    

    Debug.Print "CreateDate = " + Text1

    Debug.Print "SaveDate = " + Text2

    Debug.Print "CreateDate2 = " + Text3

    Debug.Print "SaveDate2 = " + Text4

End Sub
