CODE to update MEASUREMENT DATA TABLE after FEATURE NAME CHANGE from CODE . . .

All --

I am working on an app that collects 8 line measurements from an image.

The line are collected in a certain order.

I would like the CODE to be able to modify the FEATURE NAME in the MEASUREMENT DATA TABLE so that the IMAGE-PRO FEATURE NAME matches the user's name for the same line.

I have gotten the CODE to where everything seems to be working but it seems that the MEASUREMENT DATA TABLE needs REFRESH that I do not seem to be able to trigger.

The CODE that I am working with to debug this feature is below.

Here is what I have after that CODE is run.

This illustrates that the FEATURE NAME has been changed but that this is not showing in the MEASUREMENT DATA TABLE.

I have found that if I CLOSE and OPEN the MEASUREMENT DATA TABLE, the REOPENED MEASUREMENT DATA TABLE presents the correct FEATURE NAME.  Hopefully there is a better way to do this.

Is there a command that will update the MEASUREMENT DATA TABLE?

Matt,

You can call 

MyData.BeginUpdateBlock(False)

in the end of the macro to update image and data table.

Yuri --

I implemented your suggestion and it worked like a champ.

The IMAGE and the MEASUREMENT DATA TABLE now match after MMBTester01 runs.

Now I can wire this technology into the APP.

Thanks again.
