Getting ObjectID in WPS Objects

Every object in the Workplace shell cames from an Object Class it is assigned and Object ID. There was some discussion on the forum about how to get ObjectIDs and I'm posting the summary of it as my personal notes.

ObjectsIDs
I forgot which was the way to see the "ObjectID" of a folder or program on the WPS desktop.

For example when creating an Object on WarpIn:

CREATEOBJECT="WPFolder|Alien Blaster||OBJECTID=;" ▲        ▲           ▲                   ▲                  ▲         ▲           ▲                   ▲              WPSClass     Name   Parent folder ObjID      ObjectID.

The members of the OS2World community gave me some suggestions to help me out:

GETOBJ.CMD
This script form hobbes can help you get a report of the ObjectIDs on your system. It uses the WPTOOLS.DLL library.

Custom REXX Script
It was also suggested to use a REXX script like:

 /* REXX */ call RxfuncAdd SysLoadFuncs, RexxUtil, SysLoadFuncs call SysLoadFuncs

call SysIni 'USER', 'PM_Workplace:Location', 'All:', 'Keys' if RESULT \= 'ERROR:' then DO i=1 to Keys.0 SAY Keys.i  END else SAY RESULT return 

Workplace Properties
I also found you can find the ObjectID on "Properties -> File -> ATTRIBUTE ->.CLASSINFO" of the WPS object.



Workplace Properties 2
The best graphic way to get an ObjectID of only one object may be this suggestion:
 * Right-click the object, go to 'Properties', then the 'Icon' tab and at the bottom click 'Details...'
