Value List

One of eleven property modes, a Value List property is a single property that has as values an ordered list of text values. The system does not limit the number of entries in a list.

A Value List property may have none, one, or many sequentially numbered strings as values, indexed by a numeric index (subscript) starting at 1. Elements must be created with contiguous subscripts: 1 before 2, 2 before 3 and so on.

On the Clipboard tool and the Explorer display of properties, the icon identifies a Value List property.

Control rules

The standard control rule named StringList and the standard HTML Fragment rule named StringList_script support the presentation of Value List properties. (The Value List property mode was formerly called StringList.)

Function rules for Value List properties

• IsInPropertyList(LookFor, LookIn) — Useful for searching through the elements of a Value List property. WERDA 4/25/06 It returns true if the string lookFor is equal to one of the values in the Value List (or Value Group) property named lookIn.
• entrySatisfiesCondition(collectionEntry, comparator, value, multiplicity) — A more general function for testing the elements of a Value Group (or Value List) property, where collectionEntry identifies the property, comparator is a string containing a comparator (such as = or <=), value is a String or Double value, and multiplicity is the literal value ALL or ANY. Returns true if all (or any) of the values meet the comparison. PROJ-181 Returns false if the Value Group property contains no entries. PROJ-181 Returns false if the Value List property contains no entries.

Notes

The standard property Rule-Obj-Property.pyPropertyMode holds the mode of a property. The internal value of this property for a Value List property is "StringList", not "Value List."
