For simplicity samples do not contain much of validation code. For production it is strongly recommended to add checks for success of interface query, assumptions about structure of the model etc

Language mapping examples

Below are samples of the same piece of code, which hides the first object in the model in different languages.

C# (*.cs)

IModel_DG iModel;
iModel = m_dgkc.GetModel();
IEntity_DG iEntity = iModel.GetEntityAt(0);
iEntity.SetVisible(false);

Visual Basic .NET (*.vb)

Dim iModel As IModel_DG
iModel = m_dgkc.GetModel()
Dim iEntity As IEntity_DG = iModel.GetEntityAt(0)
iEntity.SetVisible(False)

C++  (*.cpp)

IModel_DG* iModel;
iModel = (IModel_DG*)m_dgkc.GetModel();
IEntity_DG* iEntity;
iModel->GetEntityAt(0, &iEntity);
iEntity->SetVisible(VARIANT_FALSE);

Delphi (*.pas)

iModel : IModel_DG;
iEntity : IEntity_DG;
iModel := m_dgkc.GetModel();
iModel.GetEntityAt(0, &iEntity);
iEntity.SetVisible(true)
