Detailed Description

Functions related to accessing and manipulating Properties and the category-related data of elements and attributes.

Properties

Overview

This feature of the Archicad allows one to store user-defined name-value pairs for Model elements. The keys (names) of the properties are represented with API_PropertyDefinition, that are stored per project, not per element. The definitions are part of a two-level deep tree structure. On the top level there are API_PropertyGroup, which are a collection of definitions with a unique name. The definitions' name also has to be unique within its group.

The definitions also have descriptions and they store the value type (e.g int, double) and collection type (e.g single value, list) of the data it can store. If a definition is made available for a classification, then all the elements in that classification will have that property - initially with a default value, that is part of the definition.

Properties can also have an enumerated collection type, which means that their values are limited to a finite number of predefined valid values. In this case these predefined values are part of the definition

typedef bool APIPropertyVisibilityHandlerProc(API_PropertyVisibilityMode visibilityMode, const GS::Array< API_Guid > &classificationGuids, const API_Guid &propertyDefinitionGuid)

Callback function to handle the visibility of a property.

Parameters

visibilityMode	[in] specifies what should the callback function return. Has one of the following values: API_PropertyVisibilityMode Meaning APIPropVis_IsEnabled The callback function should return true if the visibility handling is enabled. APIPropVis_IsPropertyVisible The callback function should return true if the given property is visible.
classificationGuids	[in] the classification guids of the current element.

Function Documentation

ACAPI_ActivatePropertyObjectHandler()

GSErrCode ACAPI_ActivatePropertyObjectHandler	(	short	strResID,

	)

Activates or deactivates an add-on's property handler.

Parameters

strResID	[in] tells for which property handler is this command issued
active	[in] turns the property handler on/off

Returns

• NoError - The function has completed with success.

Remarks

Only one property handler can be active in Archicad at a time. The return value of this functions depends on the user, as a dialog pops up when you issue this command. When the function returns, you should adjust your menu items accordingly. This function is a non-undoable data structure modifier function. See more details on this topic at Command Overview.
