The following code snippet shows how to get information such as Name, Description and Color of the defined enumeration values for an Attribute Type using the SystemWeaver API:
IswAttributeType attributeType = SWConnection.Instance.Broker.AttributeType("ATT4");
Example
IswAttributeType attributeType = SWConnection.Instance.Broker.AttributeType("ATT4"); // Check if it is an enumeration if (attributeType.DataType.Equals(SWAttributeDataType.Enumeration)) { // Get defined enumeration Values as string[] string[] enumValuesAsString = attributeType.RangeArray; // Get defined enumeration Values as SWEnumerationAttributeRange byte[] typeRange = attributeType.Range; // if attribute type is not an enumeration, the below result will be an empty SWEnumerationAttributeRange SWEnumerationAttributeRange enumAttributeValues = new SWEnumerationAttributeRange(typeRange); foreach (EnumerationAttributeRange enumerationValue in enumAttributeValues) { string valueName = enumerationValue.Name; string valueDescription = enumerationValue.Description; Color? valueColor = enumerationValue.Color; } }
