Interface IDatapoolSuggestedType

All Known Subinterfaces:

IDatapoolSuggestedType

public interface IDatapoolSuggestedType

Each variable in a datapool contains a specific type data and this class represents the types that can be readily handled. The type information is primarily advisory, variables by definition are not strongly typed. The type information allows the datapool editor the ability to flag data that may have been incorrectly specified and improves the ease of editing values in the datapool. For instance specifying a TYPE_ENUMERATION allows the editor to use an editable combobox for manually changing a value rather then requiring the user to get the spelling correct for each value in the available value set.

Field Summary

static int	TYPE_BOOLEAN The type of a boolean value.
