## Functions

NameSummary[disableGC](../../com.phoenix_int.ModelCenter.util/-p-h-x-c-o-m-object/disable-g-c.md)public [disableGC](../../com.phoenix_int.ModelCenter.util/-p-h-x-c-o-m-object/disable-g-c.md)(gc: [Boolean](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-boolean/index.html))  
If true, prevents releaseObjects from doing anything.[forEachRemaining](index.md#-1223920446%2FFunctions%2F-2117262581)public [forEachRemaining](index.md#-1223920446%2FFunctions%2F-2117262581)(action: [Consumer](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/function/Consumer.html)<in [E](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Iterator.html)>)[getCount](get-count.md)public [getCount](get-count.md)(): [Int](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-int/index.html)  
gets the number of variables in this collection[getItem](get-item.md)public [getItem](get-item.md)(index: [Int](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-int/index.html)): [Variable](../-variable/index.md)  
public [getItem](get-item.md)(name: [String](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/String.html)): [Variable](../-variable/index.md)  
Gets a particular element of this collection[hasNext](has-next.md)public [hasNext](has-next.md)(): [Boolean](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-boolean/index.html)  
Returns true if next() can return another valid variable from this iterator[next](next.md)public [next](next.md)(): [Any](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-any/index.html)  
Returns the next available object from this collection.[release](../../com.phoenix_int.ModelCenter.util/-p-h-x-c-o-m-object/release.md)public [release](../../com.phoenix_int.ModelCenter.util/-p-h-x-c-o-m-object/release.md)()  
Releases the COM reference to ModelCenter for this object.[releaseObjects](../../com.phoenix_int.ModelCenter.util/-p-h-x-c-o-m-object/release-objects.md)public [releaseObjects](../../com.phoenix_int.ModelCenter.util/-p-h-x-c-o-m-object/release-objects.md)()  
This function attempts to release any COM resources left behind from objects which have been finalized but release() was never called on them.[remove](remove.md)public [remove](remove.md)()  
Unimplemented.[resetIterator](reset-iterator.md)public [resetIterator](reset-iterator.md)()  
Resets the iterator with respect to the hasNext() and next() functions.[setReferenceDebugMode](../../com.phoenix_int.ModelCenter.util/-p-h-x-c-o-m-object/set-reference-debug-mode.md)public [setReferenceDebugMode](../../com.phoenix_int.ModelCenter.util/-p-h-x-c-o-m-object/set-reference-debug-mode.md)(on: [Boolean](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-boolean/index.html))  
When set to true, the system will keep a list of active COM objects that are allocated but not yet released since this method was invoked.
