pattern in design table

I need help in adding a value of number of instances of linear pattern. I need this so I can be able to modify number of objects from design table (I'm developing smallsoftware in visual basic 6 and connecting it to design table for modeling a 3d model of calculated parametars).
Can solidworks do this or not?
I need HELP!!!
Please!!!

In feature manager right click Annotation and select Show feature dimension. You will see in graphics window the values of the number of items from the liniar pattern. This value (that is like a dimension) you can use it in a design table.
