RecordHandleToID(), RH2ID()

Summary

Converts a record handle to a map feature ID.

Syntax

id = RecordHandleToID(string record_handle)

id = RH2ID(string record_handle)

Argument Contents
record_handle A record handle for a map feature

Returns

An integer ID for the map feature in the current layer with the specified record handle.

Notes

  • Can also be called as RH2ID().

  • The GetPoint(), GetLine(), and GetArea() functions require IDs. IDs are not used by other GISDK functions.

  • RecordHandleToID() can be used to obtain the value of the ID field of a record. Used this way, it is much more efficient than GetRecordValues().
