FormBaseSetAttributeValue Method

Sets a value for the given control. When the dialog is not shown, setting a property directly for a control (such as textBox1.Text = "text") will not work for controls that have a Tekla Structures AttributeTypeName set. This method is going to have to be used to set the value.

Namespace: Tekla.Structures.Dialog
Assembly: Tekla.Structures.Dialog (in Tekla.Structures.Dialog.dll) Version: 2023.0.1

Syntax

Copy

public void SetAttributeValue(
	Control Ctrl,
	Object Value
)

Public Sub SetAttributeValue ( 
	Ctrl As Control,
	Value As Object
)

Parameters

Ctrl: Type: System.Windows.FormsControl
The control whose value to set.
Value: Type: SystemObject
The new value. It can be of any primitive datatype supported by the control's AttributeType (normally int, double or string).

Examples

The following example shows how to use SetAttributeValue(Control, Object):

Copy

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Tekla.Structures.Dialog;
using Tekla.Structures.Dialog.UIControls;

public class Example : PluginFormBase
{
       private void MaterialCatalogSelectionDone(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           materialTextBox.Text = materialCatalog.SelectedMaterial;
           SetAttributeValue(materialTextBox, materialCatalog.SelectedMaterial);
       }

       private TextBox materialTextBox = new TextBox();
       private MaterialCatalog materialCatalog = new MaterialCatalog();
}
