MultiSelect Property (UADataDialog)

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

Syntax

[DefaultValue(false)]
public bool MultiSelect {get; set;}

[DefaultValue(false)]
public:
property bool MultiSelect {
   bool get();
   void set (    bool value);
}

'Declaration
 
<DefaultValueAttribute(False)>
Public Property MultiSelect As Boolean

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

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.

Example

// This example shows how to let the user browse for multiple OPC-UA data nodes (data variables or properties). 

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.Forms.Browsing;

namespace UAFormsDocExamples._UADataDialog
{
    static partial class ShowDialog

        public static void MultiSelect(IWin32Window owner)
        {
            var dataDialog = new UADataDialog
            {
                EndpointDescriptor = { UrlString = "opc.tcp://opcua.demo-this.com:51210/UA/SampleServer" },
                // or "http://opcua.demo-this.com:51211/UA/SampleServer" (currently not supported)
                // or "https://opcua.demo-this.com:51212/UA/SampleServer/"
                MultiSelect = true,

            DialogResult dialogResult = dataDialog.ShowDialog(owner);
            if (dialogResult != DialogResult.OK)
                return;

            // Display results
            MessageBox.Show(owner, 
                String.Join(Environment.NewLine, dataDialog.NodeElements.Select(element => element.ToString())));
        }
    }
