How do I get a list of the available SPATIAL CALIBRATIONS?

I would like to create a DROP DOWN MENU within a PREMIER APPLICATION so the user can select the SPATIAL CALIBRATION that will be applied to each image as it is analyzed.

I have the following code which applies a SPATIAL CALIBRATION based on its name.

-------------------------------------------

    Public Sub ApplySelectedCalibration

        Dim var1 = "10x/0.30 DRY + 1.0 X", spcal1

        With Measure.Calibration.SpatialCommands.Define(Nothing)
            .Run(var1, spcal1)
        End With

        With Measure.Calibration.SpatialCommands.SetActive(Nothing)
            .FilterInput = True
            .Run(spcal1)
        End With

    End Sub

-------------------------------------------

I do not see a way to get a list of the SPATIAL CALIBRATIONS though.

I do see

Image-Pro Premier Automation Help
GetFilteredList Method (IncludeFlags, ExcludeFlags)
Automation Reference ► MediaCy.IQL.Calibrations ► IMcSpatialCalibs ► GetFilteredList(mccfCalibFlags, mccfCalibFlags)

which contains the example code

' Get a collection of all reference calibrations
Set newList = SpatialCalibs.GetFilteredList(mccfIsReference, 0)
' Get a collection of all calibrations that are NOT derived calibrations
Set newList = SpatialCalibs.GetFilteredList(0, mccfWasDerived)

but I cannot resolve the syntax errors that appear when I paste this into a PREMIER MODULE.

Can a PREMIER GURU please provide a mechanism to get a list of the available SPATIAL CALIBRATIONS appropriate for this challenge?

Thanks.

    Hi Matt,

    Some code in the examples is old designed for VB6 and IQBase. We are working on converting them to new syntax, but you can also convert them manually using some simple rules: if you see "Set" in the examples, then you just should remove it. If some object variables are not defined, add ThisApplication in front of it. The new syntax is more strict, so all variables must be defined and full enum syntax is used. The code should look like:

            ' Get a collection of all reference calibrations
        Dim newList
        newList = ThisApplication.SpatialCalibs.GetFilteredList(MediaCy.IQL.Calibrations.mccfCalibFlags.mccfIsReference, 0)

    Here is the macro that will print all spatial calibrations:

        Public Sub PrintAllSpatialCalibrations
        Dim calibs As MediaCy.IQL.Calibrations.McSpatialCalibs=ThisApplication.Engine.SpatialCalibs
        For Each cal As MediaCy.IQL.Calibrations.McSpatialCalib In calibs
            Debug.Print cal.Name & " PixelSize = " & cal.PixelSizeX.ToString
        Next
    End Sub

    Regards,

    Yuri

    Thank you for your prompt response.

    The information about the HELP FILE EXAMPLE CODE is helpful and the example macro you provided shows the technology perfectly.

    I've integrated your code into my code and produced the following two macros.

    The first macro is a modification of the LOAD routine within a PREMIER APP.  Your code has been integrated in to populate the COMBOBOX1 control

    The second macro is a routine that will be called when it is appropriate to calibrate the active image according to the user's setting of the COMBOBOX1 control.

    Thanks again.

        'Connect with the spatial calibrations
        Dim calibs As MediaCy.IQL.Calibrations.McSpatialCalibs=ThisApplication.Engine.SpatialCalibs

        'Loop through all the available spatial calibrations
        For Each cal As MediaCy.IQL.Calibrations.McSpatialCalib In calibs

                'Add the current spatial spatial calibration to the combobox
                comboBox1.Items.Add(cal.Name)

            Next

        'Select the first spatial calibration
        comboBox1.SelectedIndex = 0

    End Sub

        'Declare local variables
        Dim var1, spcal1

        'Set var1 according to combobox1
