Hello

I have created textboxes in windows form to collect notes from drawing sheets which are defined by unique attributes or expressions. Now, I want to get the values of these notes in textboxes created in windows form so that I can make changes to these notes once we get those in respective textboxes.

For example: I have created new note as "NOTE-1" on sheet-1 of drawing and Set Attribute to this note as "AttrNote-1" through note property option.

The Attribute "AttrNote-1" will be fixed all the time since it is an attribute defined by user and Value of this attribute is "NOTE-1" which can be changed as per convenience. NoW, I want to search value of note (i.e "NOTE-1") by its attribute (i.e AttrNote-1) and Need to get the value of note in textbox created in windows form for "Note-1" So, I should be able to first read the value of note in textbox and make changes to it if needed.

Same case is for expression as well. For expressions, Name of expression will be treated as Attribute (i.e exprNote_1) and its value in the formula bar will be treated as Value of Note (i.e NOTE-1)

Could someone provide journal for this requirements.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for sharing resource & code. The Module Code and entire project is just amazing and very basic & easy to understand.
I got a ready skeleton through entire project and trying to modify the same as per my requirement. Since my form contains more than one attribute with multiple textboxes, Could you please suggest what best method I can try in the code.

Thanks again!
