VariableCardinalityDefinition object

A class that provides information about the cardinality of a
variable. It reports whether the associated variable is a single instance
or an array. If it is an array, you can get information about the
dimensions. VariableCardinalityDefinition is used in the
VariableDefinition object. It has no events.

Properties

VariableCardinality Definition property	Datatype	Description
ArrayDefinition[ ]	ArrayBounds	When the associated variable’s Cardinality is BoundedArray!, an array with an ArrayBounds object for each dimension in the array being described. When Cardinality is UnboundedArray!, ArrayDefinition has a single ArrayBounds object with LowerBound and UpperBound properties both set to 0. The extent of the array is not part of the class definition. Not valid when Cardinality is ScalarType!
Cardinality	VariableCardinalityType	The cardinality of the associated variable. Values are: ScalarType! UnboundedArray! BoundedArray!
ClassDefinition	PowerObject	An object of type PowerObject containing information about the class definition of the object or control.

Description

ArrayDefinition[ ]

ArrayBounds

When the associated variable’s Cardinality is
BoundedArray!, an array with an ArrayBounds object for each
dimension in the array being described.

When
Cardinality is UnboundedArray!, ArrayDefinition has a single
ArrayBounds object with LowerBound and UpperBound properties
both set to 0. The extent of the array is not part of the class
definition.

Not valid when Cardinality is
ScalarType!

BoundedArray!

ClassDefinition

PowerObject

An object of type PowerObject containing
information about the class definition of the object or
control.
