System.bool SetColumnType2( 
   System.int Index,
   System.int Type,
   System.bool IncludeHidden
)

System.bool SetColumnType2( 
&   System.int Index,
&   System.int Type,
&   System.bool IncludeHidden
) 

Parameters

Index

Index of the column whose type to set

Type

Column type as defined by swTableColumnTypes_e

IncludeHidden

True to set the hidden column type, false to not

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::SetColumnTitle2.

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.
