IMetabaseObjectDescriptor.IsShortcut

Syntax

IsShortcut: Boolean;

Description

The IsShortcut property returns whether this object is a shortcut to other repository object.

Comments

The property returns True if this object is a shortcut for another repository object.

NOTE. If the object is a shortcut to an object from another repository, this property returns the False value, use the IMetabaseObjectDescriptor.IsLink property for checking.

Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains an object with the ObjTest identifier.

Add a link to the Metabase system assembly.

Sub UserProc;
Var
    MB: IMetabase;
    MDesc: IMetabaseObjectDescriptor;
Begin
    MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
    MDesc := MB.ItemById("ObjTest");
    If MDesc.IsShortcut Then
        Debug.WriteLine(MDesc.Shortcut.Id);
    End If;
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example, if the specified object is a shortcut, the development environment console displays identifier of the object, to which this shortcut refers.
