ChildrenCount(Element: Integer): Integer;
Element - element key.
The ChildrenCount property returns the number of child elements for the element, which key is passed by the Element parameter.
Executing the example requires the MDM repository NSI_1 that contains an MDM dictionary with the Dict_1 identifier.
Sub Main;
Var
MB: IMetabase;
Dict: IRdsDictionary;
DictInst: IRdsDictionaryInstance;
Elements: IRdsDictionaryElements;
Attrs: IRdsAttributes;
i, j: Integer;
Begin
MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
Dict := MB.ItemByIdNamespace("Dict_1", MB.ItemById("NSI_1").Key).Bind As IRdsDictionary;
Attrs := Dict.Attributes;
j := Attrs.Name.Key; // attribute key
DictInst := Dict.Open(Null);
Elements := DictInst.Elements;
For i := 0 To Elements.ChildrenCount(-2) - 1 Do
Debug.WriteLine(Elements.Attribute(Elements.Child(-2, i), j));
End For;
End Sub Main;
After executing the example values of the Name attribute are displayed in the console for all dictionary root elements.
