MultiSelect Property (UADataDialog)

Determines whether the dialog allows the user to select multiple nodes as output.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
Public Property MultiSelect As Boolean

'Usage
 
Dim instance As UADataDialog
Dim value As Boolean
 
instance.MultiSelect = value
 
value = instance.MultiSelect

public bool MultiSelect {get; set;}

public:
property bool MultiSelect {
   bool get();
   void set (    bool value);
}

Property Value

The default value of this property is False.

Remarks

When multi-select is enabled and the dialog allows the user to pick the OPC-UA endpoint, the count of endpoint descriptors must be the same as the count of node descriptors.

The getter method of this property is pure, i.e. it does not have observable side effects.
