Methods

ForceRename(System.String,System.Boolean)

Rename the object.

  • Parameters:
    • value: The new name.
    • fireChangingEvent: If false, no change event will fire. In particular, this disables the check for duplicate names, which can be costly as it has to check every equipment. The caller is responsible for ensuring that value is a unique name, or Bad Things will happen.

FromXmlString(BCS.IToolXmlToObjectHelper)

Init object from IToolXmlToObjectHelper. All properties found in the RootElement of IToolXmlToObjectHelper will be set with the value in the rootElement

  • Parameters:
    • xmlHelperObj: xmlHelperObj IToolXmlToObjectHelper

FromXmlString(System.String)

Init object from xml. All properties found in the xml will be set with the value in the xml file

  • Parameters:
    • xmlText: Xml string

FromXmlString(System.Xml.Linq.XElement)

Init object from root element. All properties found in the XElement will be set with the value in the XElement

  • Parameters:
    • objXml: objXml XElement

GetCopyPasteXml

Converts the object into an XML string including overrides for for copy/paste functionality

  • Returns:
    • the string that contains xml version of the object for copy/paste

GetUserPropertyInstance(System.String)

Gets the user property instance of the specified name

  • Parameters:
    • userPropertyName: The user property name.
  • Returns:
    • Returns the user property instance object. If not found, the methods returns null.
  • Example:
This example shows how to set the value of a user property by using this method


            cc1 = Project.Equipment.Get("CC1");
            
            // get the value of a user property using the method
            userPropertyInstance = cc1.GetUserPropertyInstance("UserProperty1");
            if(userPropertyInstance != null) {
               userPropertyInstance.Value = 3;
            }

GetUserPropertyValue(System.String)

Gets the value of a user property. A better way to get the value of a user property is to use the indexer operator [], see example. Instead of using the method ‘GetUserPropertyInstance’ and then access the ‘Value’ property of the returned value, this method simplifies the way we get the value of a user property.

  • Parameters:
    • userPropertyName: The name of the user property to set.
  • Returns:
    • Returns null if user property is not found. Otherwise returns the value of the user property.
  • Example:
This example shows how to get the value of a user property using this method and also by using the indexer


            cc1 = Project.Equipment.Get("CC1");
            
            // get the value of a user property using the method
            val = cc1.GetUserPropertyValue("UserProperty1");
            
            // get the value of a user property using the indexer operator
            val = cc1["UserProperty1"];

IsUserProperty(System.String)

Indicates if the object contains a user property with the name you specify

  • Parameters:
    • userPropertyName: user property name
  • Returns:
    • Returns true if the object contains a user property with the name you specified in parameter.

PauseRecording

SetUserPropertyValue(System.String,System.Object)

Sets the value of a user property. A better way to set the value of a user property is to use the indexer operator [], see example. Instead of using the method ‘GetUserPropertyInstance’ and then access the ‘Value’ property of the returned value, this method simplifies the way we set the value of a user property.

  • Parameters:
    • userPropertyName: The name of the user property to set.
    • value: If the user property is not found, this methods does nothing.
  • Example:
This example shows how to set the value of a user property using this method and also by using the indexer


            cc1 = Project.Equipment.Get("CC1");
            
            // set the value of a user property using the method
            cc1.SetUserPropertyValue("UserProperty1", 3);
            
            // set the value of a user property using the indexer operator
            cc1["UserProperty1"] = 3;
