C++ Syntax

MKI_HatchOpen( void );

Opens a provisional dynamic hatching for data block input. Once opened, the provisional dynamic hatching can be filled with data blocks and subsequently be terminated and appended to a memory list or to a block.

Only one provisional dynamic hatching is available at a time. Anyway, other provisional entities like object, instance, extended object, block and group can be open simultaneously. After opening the provisional dynamic hatching, it must later be closed using MKI_HatchClose or MKI_HatchFastInsert.

Return Value

Address of the provisional dynamic hatch, if successful. This address can be used to modify the dynamic hatching's extended properties (located in ReturnValue->XProperty). Please do not modify any other value! If nullptr is returned, this indicates that another provisional dynamic hatching is already open.
