listboxname.Reset ( )
Argument |
Description |

The name of the ListBox control from which to delete all items |
Integer. Returns 1 if it succeeds and -1 if an error occurs. If listboxname is null, Reset returns null. The return value is usually not used.
This statement deletes all items in the ListBox portion of ddlb_Actions:
ddlb_Actions.Reset()
Deletes the data, the categories, or the series from a graph.
Graph controls in windows and user objects and graphs within a DataWindow object with an external data source.
Does not apply to other graphs within DataWindow objects because their data comes directly from the DataWindow.
controlname.Reset ( graphresettype )
Argument |
Description |
|---|---|
controlname |
The name of the graph object in which you want to delete all the data values or all series and all data values |
graphresettype |
A value of the grResetType enumerated datatype specifying whether you want to delete only data values or all series and all data values:

This statement deletes the series and data, but leaves the categories, in the graph gr_product_data:
gr_product_data.Reset(Series!)
Goes back to the beginning of the trace file so you can begin rereading the file contents.
TraceFile objects
instancename.Reset ( )
Argument |
Description |
|---|---|
instancename |
Instance name of the TraceFile object |
ErrorReturn. Returns one of the following values:
Success! – The function succeeded
FileNotOpenError! – The specified trace file has not been opened
Use this function to return to the start of the open trace file and begin rereading the contents of the file. To use the Reset function, you must have previously opened the trace file with the Open function. You use the Reset and Open functions as well as the other properties and functions provided by the TraceFile object to access the contents of a trace file directly. You use these functions if you want to perform your own analysis of the tracing data instead of using the available modeling objects.
This example returns execution to the start of the open trace file ltf_file so that the file’s contents can be reread:
TraceFile ltf_file
string ls_filename
ltf_file = CREATE TraceFile
ltf_file.Open(ls_filename)
...
ltf_file.Reset(ls_filename)
...
