Examples

To create a property type of the enumeration data type and access its enumeration options:

        public void Execute(PluginCommandParameter parameter)
        {
            // Get the Property Types library in the project.
            var propertyTypesLibrary = studio.ActiveProject.PropertyTypeLibrary;
 
            // Create a variable for the enumeration options of the enumeration property type.
            // The enumeration options are a list of items (string) and values (int) to which Kanzi maps the items. 
            var options = new Dictionary<string, int>();
            for (int i = 0; i <= 4; i++)
            {
                options.Add("Level" + i, i);
            }
 
            // Create an enumeration property type in the Property Types library and set:
            // - Name to MyPlugin.MyEnumProperty
            //   Use the name of your plugin as the property type namespace to avoid naming conflicts
            //   with other property types in the Kanzi Studio project that use the project name as 
            //   the default property type namespace. 
            // - Name as it is shown in Kanzi Studio to My Enum Property
            // - Category in which Kanzi Studio shows the property type to My Plugin Properties
            // - Enumeration Options to:
            //     Key      |  Value
            //     -------------------
            //     Level0   |  0
            //     Level1   |  1
            //     Level2   |  2
            //     Level3   |  3
            //     Level4   |  4
            // Kanzi Studio by default sets:
            // - Editor to Enumeration dropdown
            // - Default Value to the first key in the enumeration options
            var myCustomEnumProperty = propertyTypesLibrary.CreateCustomEnumProperty(
                propertyTypesLibrary.GenerateUniqueChildName("MyPlugin.MyEnumProperty"),
                "My Enum Property",
                "My Plugin Properties",
                options);
 
            // Add to the enumeration options the key value pair Level5 and 5.
            myCustomEnumProperty.Options.Add("Level5", 5);
 
            // Print the enumeration options to the Kanzi Studio Log window.
            studio.Log(myCustomEnumProperty.Name + " has these enumeration options:");
            foreach (KeyValuePair<string, int> kvp in myCustomEnumProperty.Options)
            {
                studio.Log(kvp.Key + "\t" + kvp.Value);
            }
        }
