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:
| Constant | Type | Value | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Attribute executed on server | Longint | 8 | Corresponds to the "Execute on server" option |
| Attribute invisible | Longint | 1 | Corresponds to the "Invisible" option |
| Attribute published SOAP | Longint | 3 | Corresponds to the "Offered as a Web Service" option |
| Attribute published SQL | Longint | 7 | Corresponds to the "Available through SQL" option |
| Attribute published Web | Longint | 2 | Corresponds to the "Available through 4D HTML tags and URLs (4DACTION...)" option |
| Attribute published WSDL | Longint | 4 | Corresponds to the "Published in WSDL" option |
| Attribute shared | Longint | 5 | Corresponds 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.
