| ArticleReference Constructor | Constructor used to create transient article reference object. That object can be passed as a parameter to ConnectionDefinitionPoint() function. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Article | Returns the article of this articlereference. This is the Article stored in the Project, can be NULL if the article is not found in Project. |
| BelongsToArticlePlacement | Returns true, if the article reference contains to an article placement |
| Count | Sets and gets count |
| CrossReferencedObjectsAll | Returns an array of objects cross-referenced with this object (i.e. having the same name - in case of functions - or otherwise associated) (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| DatabaseIdentifier | Returns the project as number. The number is unique for all open projects in one session. The number changes when the project is closed and opened again. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| FunctionTemplates | Returns an array of transient object (of Connection or Function type) that represent function templates associated with the article referenced by this object. |
| IdentifyingName | Gets the identifying device tag of the parent function(property ArticleReferencePropertyList.ARTICLEREF_IDENTNAME). |
| IsAssembly | Represents this reference an assembly |
| IsLocked | Determines if the the StorableObject is locked. The StorableObject is locked when it was explicitly or implicitly locked. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| IsReadOnly | Determines if StorableObject is read-only (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| IsTransient | Determines if the the StorableObject is transient. The StorableObject is transient when it was created by default constructor and: it is a Page and it was not assigned a Project, it is a Placement or any class derived from it and was not assigned a Page. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| IsValid | Determines if StorableObject is correct database object and is not deleted. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| ObjectIdentifier | Returns the object identifier as number. The number is unique for all objects of this type. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| ParentObject | Returns the Object this ArticleReference belongs to. |
| PartNr | Returns ArticleReference's part number. |
| Project | Returns the project the StorableObject belongs to. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| Properties | Represents ArticleReference properties |
| ReferencePos | Returns the index of the ArticleReference reference for the given article if it is referenced by a Function. This number is useful when reading values of article reference properties (indexed properties on function, e.g. FUNC_ARTICLE_COUNT). It is not equal to the 0-based position of element in the table of articles which is returned by Function.Articles/> |
| TypeIdentifier | Returns the type of the object as number. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| VariantNr | Sets and gets ArticleReference's variant number. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Dispose() | Destructor for deterministic finalization of ArticleReference object. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| Equals | Operator of comparison implementation. Checks if two StorableObjects refer to the same object in the project. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| GetHashCode | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| GetTypeName | Returns object type name. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| LockObject | Tries to lock current object in database for exclusive access. Throws Eplan.EplApi.Base.LockingException on failure. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| RemoveArticleReference | Removes the ArticleReference from the Object. |
| SmartLock | Tries to lock current object. If object is Placement - it's page will be locked as well; Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.E3D.Placement3D locks it's installation space; Function locks all it's connections and connection definition points; Page locks all placements from this page. Throws Eplan.EplApi.Base.LockingException on failure. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| StoreToObject | Commits all changes of the ArticleReference to the matching properties of a parent object (Project/Function/Connection). |
| ToStringIdentifier | Returns this object as string identifier. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
