Value List

One of eleven property modes, a Value List property is a single property that has as values an ordered list of text values. The system does not limit the number of entries in a list.

A Value List property may have none, one, or many sequentially numbered strings as values, indexed by a numeric index (subscript) starting at 1. Elements must be created with contiguous subscripts: 1 before 2, 2 before 3 and so on.

On the Clipboard tool and the Explorer display of properties, the icon identifies a Value List property.

Control rules

The standard control rule named StringList and the standard HTML Fragment rule named StringList_script support the presentation of Value List properties. (The Value List property mode was formerly called StringList.)

Function rules for Value List properties

• IsInPropertyList(LookFor, LookIn) — Useful for searching through the elements of a Value List property. It returns true if the string lookFor is equal to one of the values in the Value List (or Value Group) property named lookIn.
• entrySatisfiesCondition(collectionEntry, comparator, value, multiplicity) — A more general function for testing the elements of a Value Group (or Value List) property, where collectionEntry identifies the property, comparator is a string containing a comparator (such as = or <=), value is a String or Double value, and multiplicity is the literal value ALL or ANY. Returns true if all (or any) of the values meet the comparison. Returns false if the Value Group property contains no entries. Returns false if the Value List property contains no entries.

Notes

The standard property Rule-Obj-Property.pyPropertyMode holds the mode of a property. The internal value of this property for a Value List property is "StringList", not "Value List."
