ServerObject.Class |
|
Description |
References the class of the database item that is referenced in the script by the ServerObject. |
|
Arguments |
None. |
|
Returns |
Class {string} The class of the database item that is referenced in the script by the ServerObject. The Class is a table in the database schema (see Working with the Database Schema in the ClearSCADA Guide to the Database). |
Example:
The following script is used to display a message box showing the class of an internal analog point named 'Tank Level' (that is stored in a Group named 'Tanks'):
- Set objTankLevel = Server.FindObject("Tanks.Tank Level")
- MsgBox "Tank Level Class = " &objTankLevel.Class
Where:
- objTankLevel is the name of the variable that stores the ServerObject that is returned by the FindObject function.
- Server.FindObject("Tanks.Tank Level") instructs the script to search for the item named 'Tank Level' in the 'Tanks' Group.
- MsgBox "Tank Level Class = " &objTankLevel.Class instructs the script to display a message box containing the message 'Tank Level Class = x' where x is the Class value of the item referenced by the objTankLevel variable (in this case, the objTankLevel variable stores the ServerObject that is returned by the FindObject function). So x is the Class value of the 'Tank Level' database item.
