Listing iProperties of an Inventor document

This will list the iProperties of an Inventor document:

// iProperties listing function. Needs a DOC not a PART or ASSEMBLY

void ListIProperties(CComPtr<Document>& pInventorDoc)

{

   CComPtr <PropertySets> pPropSets;

   pInventorDoc->get_PropertySets(&pPropSets);

   const long ikNumSets = pPropSets->Count;

   // There are several sets of properties, loop over the sets...

   for (long iSet = 1; iSet <= ikNumSets; iSet++) {

       CComPtr<PropertySet> pPropSet;

       pPropSets->get_Item(CComVariant(iSet), &pPropSet);

       CComBSTR bstrPropSetName;

       pPropSet->get_Name(&bstrPropSetName);

       CString csPropSetName(bstrPropSetName);

       // Loop over the properties of this property set...

       const long ikNumProps = pPropSet->Count;

       for (long iProp = 1; iProp <= ikNumProps; iProp++) {

           CComPtr<Property> pThisProp;

           pPropSet->get_Item(CComVariant(iProp), &pThisProp);

           _bstr_t bstrPropName = pThisProp->GetDisplayName();

           CString csPropName(bstrPropName.GetBSTR());

           CComVariant varValue;

           pThisProp->get_Value(&varValue);

           // Add more VT_... values for more detail...

           CString csValue;

           if (varValue.vt == VT_BSTR) {

               csValue = CString(varValue.bstrVal);

           } else if (varValue.vt == VT_I4) {

               csValue.Format(L"%d", varValue.intVal);

           } else {

               csValue.Format(L"vt=%d", varValue.vt);

           }

           gLogger.Printf(ekLogMsg, L"<%s> %03d %s  value=%s", csPropSetName, iProp, csPropName, csValue);

       }

   }

}

You can check for different values of varValue.vt to see different types of properties.

You'll get an output something like this:
