OdTfProperty stores property data.

To get the type of the property, use the type() method, which requires no parameters and returns the property type as one value from the OdTfVariant::Type enumeration:

typedef enum 
{
  kGUID = OdVariant::kNextType,
  kEmpty,
  kDEPRECARED0,
  kDbStubPtr,
  kRxObjectWeakPtr,
  kTuple,
  kNextType
} Type;
    

For example:

OdTfVariant::Type propType = pProp->type();
    

To get the name of the property, use the name() method, which requires no parameters and returns the name of the property as an OdString value. For example:

message.format(L"\nName of the parameter is %s", pProp->name().c_str());
pIO->putString(message);
    

To get the owner class of the property, use the owner() method, which requires no parameters and returns the owner class as a pointer to the OdTfClass object. For example:

message.format(L"\nCurrent property is owned by %s class", pProp->owner()->name().c_str());
pIO->putString(message);
    

Parameter can have a default value instead of OdTfVariant::kEmpty. To get this value, use the defaultItemValue() method, which requires no parameters and returns the default value as an OdTfVariant object. For example:

OdTfVariant defVal = pProp->defaultItemValue();
    

To get the current parameter value of the specified object, use the getValue() method, which requires a pointer to an OdTfObject object to specify the object with this parameter and an OdTfVariant object through which the value will be returned. For example:

pProp->getValue(pElementPtr, val);
    

The next example demonstrates dumping all properties with their name and type indices. The getAllHierarchyProperties_2() method can be found in the topic about TfClasses

pClass = pElementPtr->isA();
OdArray<const OdTfProperty*> allProperties = getAllHierarchyProperties_2(pClass);
for (OdArray<const OdTfProperty*>::iterator it = allProperties.begin(), itEnd = allProperties.end(); it != itEnd; ++it)
{
  OdString propertyName = (*it)->name();
  OdTfVariant::Type propertyType = (*it)->type();
  message.format(L"\nName %s; typeId: %d;", propertyName.c_str(), propertyType);
  pIO->putString(message);
}
