loop through material data base ?
has anybody ever been successful to loop through a material database to see what type of materials are all in it ?
if so i could really use some pointers.
thanks.

xml parsing is required. i could never be bothered to do it. just open up the database file with notepad and have a look at the structure. there is no direct api for this (unless its new to 2009 not looked yet)
thanks luke,
the reason why i need it is because i am making a small program to change material properties for a batch of parts and i wanted to display the list of all available types.
i did find a couple of examples of this sort of thing that i will try.
"i could never be bothered to do it."
you sound like it is a bad idea to do such a thing, may i ask why ?

i don't think he's saying it's a bad thing to do, he just never needed to do it.
i'll get you eh steve, if it's the last thing i dooooo!
yea probably is i just misunderstood him.
i just cannot get it. this is what i found but do to my inexperience am not able to get it to work could somebody lend a few words ?
public articledoc as new domdocument
private sub cmdclose_click()
unload me
end sub
sub form_load()
loaddocument "c:\programme\solidworks\solidworks\lang\english\sldmaterials\solidworks materials.sldmat"
dim sections as ixmldomnodelist
dim ss as ixmldomnode
set ss = articledoc.childnodes.item(i)
set sections = ss.childnodes
sectionslist.clear
for i = 1 to sections.length - 1
c = sections.item(i).xml
sectionslist.additem sections.item(i).attributes.item(0).nodevalue, x = 1
next
sectionslist.listindex = 0
end sub
function loaddocument(url as string)
articledoc.async = false
articledoc.load url
end function
the above is the code i have and i keep getting an error on "set sections = ss.childnodes" if i open material database. if i open an actual xml document then i get to "sectionslist.additem sections.item(i).attributes.item(0).nodevalue, x = 1 and then it errors out there.
