Comments

This function actually issues the query text command. The parameters give characteristics for the query.

Note: To control the placement of the generated Query Text Label, prior to calling the QueryText function, call the (AfmQueryTextSetPlacement placement) function .

nJustification gives the text justification: 0 for left, 1 for center, 2 for right.

strLayer is the layer on which the query text entities are to be created.

dHeight specifies the height of the text to be created.

bActualHeight should be t if dHeight is in AutoCAD units, nil if dHeight is the plotted height (the height the text should appear on the actual plot).

dXoffset and dYoffset specify a distance, in AutoCAD units, that the text should be offset from the asset symbol's text insertion point.

bOneLinePerField is t if each field of information should be given its own line, and nil if information should be concatenated on one line. In the latter case, if a query has both an owner and an assigned table, the owner information is shown on one concatenated line of query text and the assigned information on a separate line.

strFieldDelimiter If bOneLinePerField is nil, this is the delimiter used to separate the different fields of information.

bShowDialog If t, the function shows a dialog with the text characteristics for the user to change for that invocation. If nil, the function does not show a dialog and executes the function immediately.

bReuseExistingParams If t, the function will use the above list of parameters as specified from a previous call to AfmQueryText . If nil, the function uses the list of passed in parameters in this call.
