IMetabaseObjectDescriptor.Children

Syntax

Description

The Children property returns a collection of descriptions of the child objects.

Comments

The property returns an empty collection if the object has no child objects. This property, unlike the IMetabaseObjectDescriptor.FetchChildren method, does not return a collection of source object descriptions for a shortcut.

Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains a time series database with the TSBD identifier.

Add a link to the Metabase system assembly.

Sub UserProg;
Var
    MB: IMetabase;
    MDesc: IMetabaseObjectDescriptor;
    MDescr: IMetabaseObjectDescriptors;
    i: integer;
Begin
    MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
    MDesc := Mb.ItemById("TSDB");
    MDescr := MDesc.Children;
    If MDescr.Count <> 0 Then
    Debug.WriteLine(Child objects:);
    For i:=0 To MDescr.Count-1 Do
         MDesc:=MDescr.Item(i);
         Debug.WriteLine(Name: + MDesc.Name + "; Identifier: + MDesc.Id);
    End For;
    End If;
End Sub UserProg;

After executing the example , if the specified time series database contains children objects, their names and identifiers will be displayed to the development environment console.
