Description

The METHOD Get attribute command returns the value of the attribType attribute for the project method designated by the path parameter. This command only works with project methods. If you pass an invalid path, an error is generated.

In the attribType parameter, pass a value indicating the type of attribute to get. You can use the following constants, found in the Design Object Access theme:

ConstantTypeValueComment

Attribute sharedInteger5Corresponds to the "Shared by components and host database" option

If the command is executed from a component, it applies by default to the component methods. If you pass the * parameter, it accesses the methods of the host database.

The command returns True when an attribute is selected and False if it is deselected.
