account for changes to the configuration
property’s type. Only configuration
properties that apply to network
variables can inherit types.
For example, consider a configuration
property with the TypeInherits property
set to 1. If an application changes the
type of the network variable to which
the configuration property belongs, then
OpenLNS changes the type of the
configuration property automatically,
since the TypeInherits property is set to
1. You would need to know about this
change when reading the value of the
configuration property, and you can use
this property to keep track of which
configuration properties may be
modified by OpenLNS in this fashion.
configProperty The ConfigProperty object being acted
upon.
Data Type Short.
Read/Write Read only.
Added to API LNS Release 3.20.
TypeIndex
Summary Returns the type index of the configuration property.
Each
ConfigProperty object uses a type defined in the
standard LonMark resource files, or in a user-defined
resource file. This property returns the index assigned to that
type within the resource file containing its definition.
If the
Mode property is set to lcaResourceScopeStandard
(0), then the ConfigProperty object’s type is defined in the
standard resource files.
Availability Local, full, lightweight, and independent clients.
