dim activewindow
dim intTel
dim objCalc
dim KeyValues

    set ActiveWindow = pdc.Windows.ActiveWindow
    if ActiveWindow.WindowKey = "32" then 'Calculationlist
      set KeyValues = ActiveWindow.KeyValues
      for intTel = 0 to KeyValues.Count -1
        set objCalc = pdc.OpenCalculation(KeyValues(intTel))
        if IsValid(objCalc) then
          MsgBox objCalc.Text
        end if
      Next
    else
      msgbox "This script does not work with the opened window in PdC (Windowkey " & ActiveWindow.WindowKey & ")." & vbCrLf & _
             "It works only with the calculationlist (Windowkey 32)."
    end if
    set KeyValues = nothing
    set objCalc = nothing
    set ActiveWindow = nothing

dim objActWin
dim objActGrid

  set objActWin = pdc.Windows.ActiveWindow
  if objActWin.WindowKey = "32" then
    for lngCnt = 0 to objActWin.DataGrids.Count - 1
      Memo1.Lines.Add objActWin.DataGrids.items(lngCnt)
    next

    Memo1.Lines.Add ""
    set objActGrid = objActWin.Datagrids.GetGridByName("PDCGrid2", "DM_ID")
    Memo1.Lines.Add objActGrid.SelectionKey
    for lngCnt = 0 to objActGrid.SelectedValues.Count - 1
      Memo1.Lines.Add objActGrid.SelectedValues(lngCnt)
    next

    Memo1.Lines.Add ""
    set objActGrid = objActWin.Datagrids.GetGridByName("PDCGrid3", "DB_ID")
    Memo1.Lines.Add objActGrid.SelectionKey
    for lngCnt = 0 to objActGrid.SelectedValues.Count - 1
