METHOD Get attribute ( path ; attribType {; *} ) -> Function result

Parameter	Type	Description
path	Text	Path of project method
attribType	Longint	Type of attribute to get
*	Operator	If passed = command applies to host database when executed from a component (parameter ignored outside of this context)
Function result	Boolean	True = attribute selected; otherwise False

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.
