Returns the number of files in the files graph of the transmittal set.

Supported platforms: Windows only

Namespace: TRANSMITTALLib

Assembly: AcETransmit19.tlb

Signature

VB.NET:

RetVal = object.getNumberOfFiles(bIncludeMissingFiles, bIncludeUnselectedFiles)

C#:

RetVal = object.getNumberOfFiles(bIncludeMissingFiles, bIncludeUnselectedFiles);

object

Type: TransmittalFilesGraph object

The object this method applies to.

bIncludeMissingFiles

Access: Input-only

Type: Long

• 0 (False): Referenced files that are missing are not included in the count.
• 1 (True): Referenced files that are missing are included in the count.

bIncludeUnselectedFiles

Access: Input-only

Type: Long

• 0 (False): Unselected files in the visual files graph are not included in the count.
• 1 (True): Unselected files in the visual files graph are included in the count.

Return Value (RetVal)

Type: Long

Total number of files that are in the files graph of the transmittal set based on the filter criteria.

Remarks

No additional remarks.
