[IronPython] The return value (out)

[Dino Viehland]

Is the method overloaded?  There could be enough confusion w/overloads where we aren't picking the right overload.  Alternately you can do:

import clr
ref = clr.Reference[TPick]()

And then call it with the reference value whose's .Value property will be updated on a successful call such as:

int_res = EntityPick(ref, ...)
print ref.Value

If it is overloaded you can also index into the .Overloads property to select the proper overload but hopefully using Reference (which is an alias for StrongBox) should work.

It doesn't work I have an error message

Microsoft.Scripting.ArgumentTypeException: expected StrongBox[TPick], got TMesh

code:

result, pick = LE.EntityPick(entity,10.0)

That is, out arguments are returned bundled in a tuple with the result of the method.

Hi,

Can somebody help me to solve this problem please ?

in the .NET Assembly there is C# function:
public static extern int EntityPick(out TPick pick, TEntity entity, float range = 100, float radius = 0, int collisionType = 0, PickFilterCallback pickfilter = null);

how to call that function in ironPython and get return value of pick

I can't find working solution

Thanks
