System.int GetVisibleEntityCount2( 
   Component2 LpViewComponent,
   System.int EntityType

System.int GetVisibleEntityCount2( 
&   Component2^ LpViewComponent,
&   System.int EntityType
) 

Parameters

LpViewComponent

Component from which to get the visible EntityType

EntityType

Type of entity as defined in swViewEntityType_e

Return Value

Number of visible entities of EntityType in LpViewComponent

Visible entities are entities that are not completely obscured by other entities in the view.

Call this method to get the size of the array returned by IView::IGetVisibleEntities2.

The difference between this method and the now obsolete IView::GetVisibleEntityCount method is that this method gets the correct number of silhouette edges (EntityType = swViewEntityType_e.swViewEntityType_SilhouetteEdge).
