SilverSharp.TAG_NODE

Structure

A SilverSharp.TAG_NODE object stores information about SilverScreen named tags

C# Code

class TAG_NODE

{

enum TagTypes

{

DOUBLE_TAG = 1,

XYZ_TAG = 2,

TEXT_TAG = 3,

};

property string name { get; }

property TagTypes type { get; }

property double tag_double { get; }

property SS_XYZ tag_xyz { get; }

property string tag_text { get; }

property TAG_NODE next_tag { get; }

string ToString();

};

Properties

The following read-only properties mimic the purpose of their counter-parts in the SilverC TAG_NODE:

Name

Description

name

The name of the tag, which must be unique to the entity that contains it.

next_tag

The next sibling TAG_NODE of the entity host

type

Indicates data type of tag as follows:

Constant	Meaning
DOUBLE_TAG	The tag stores a double-precision floating-point value
XYZ_TAG	The tag stores a 3D point
TEXT_TAG	The tag stores a string of text

The following read-only properties extend TAG_NODE for SilverSharp:

Name	Description
tag_double	A floating-point double-precision value that is associated with the tag when type is DOUBLE_TAG
tag_text	A System.String object that is associated with the tag when type is TEXT_TAG.
tag_xyz	A 3D point that is associated with the tag when type is XYZ_TAG

Remarks

SilverC TAG_NODEs contained a union called tag that does not exist in the SilverSharp object. The property 'tag_double' replaces 'tag.tag_double'. The property 'tag_xyz' replaces 'tag.tag_xyz'. The property 'tag_text' replaces 'tag.tag_text'.
