Parameters

objRef

Reference to an object of Structured variable type.

row

Row index.

If the value is @FALSE or the parameter is not specified, the function returns the value of the item.
If the value is @TRUE, the function returns the following according to the column type:
  - Column type Object: function returns the object identifier (HBJ), to which the item refers
  - Other column types: function returns an invalid value

The function provides an alternative method of access to items of a structure using the row and column index. In this context, the structure is taken as a value matrix.

_i := SV.Structure[2]^Text
_i := %GetItemValue(SV.Structure\HBJ, 2, 1)

 

return the same values.
