Behavior (Object)

Represents a behavior.
Role: A behavior is a set of tasks performed on a technological object. It can be V5 command, CAA command, VBA command, external application or behavior defined into the BKT product. A behavior contains a set of variables: the inputs entered by the user and the outputs produced by the behavior. This interface manipulates the characteristics of a behavior: children behaviors, inputs/outputs and activity.

Property Index

Behaviors
Returns the collection of children behaviors.

Method Index

Activate
Activates a behavior.
Deactivate
Deactivates a behavior.
GetInput
Returns the value of one available input of the behavior.
GetOutput
Returns the value of one available output of the behavior.
PutOutput
Valuates an available output of the behavior.
TestInput
Tests if the behavior's input is set or not.
TestOutput
Tests if the behavior's output is set or not.

Properties


o Property Behaviors() As (Read Only)
Returns the collection of children behaviors.
Example:
This example retrieves in BehCollection the collection of Behaviors currently managed by a Behavior Beh. 
 Dim BehCollection As Behaviors
 Set BehCollection = Beh.Behaviors

Methods


o Sub Activate()
Activates a behavior.
Example:
This example activates a Behavior Beh. 
 Beh.Activate
o Sub Deactivate()
Deactivates a behavior.
Example:
This example deactivates a Behavior Beh. 
 Beh.Deactivate
o Func GetInput( pName) As
Returns the value of one available input of the behavior.
Parameters:
pName
the name of the input
Example:
This example retrieves in BehParameter the published input CATIAParameter Nb_Cylinder currently managed by a Behavior Beh. 
 Dim BehParameter as Parameter
 Set BehParameter = Beh.GetInput("Nb_Cylinder")
o Func GetOutput( pName) As
Returns the value of one available output of the behavior.
Parameters:
pName
the name of the output
Example:
This example retrieves in BehPower the published output CATIAParameter Power currently managed by a Behavior Beh. 
 Dim BehPower as Parameter
 Set BehPower = Beh.GetOutput("Power")
o Sub PutOutput( pName,
oValue)
Valuates an available output of the behavior. The behavior must be in operating state, otherwise it fails.
It can be applicable from a CATIABehaviorVBScript Execution for instance.
Parameters:
pName
the name of the output
oValue
the value of the output
Example:
This example assigns to the published CATIAParameter Power of a Behavior Beh. the value of BehPower 
 Dim BehPower as Parameter
 ...
 Beh.PutOutput "Power", BehPower
o Func TestInput( pName) As
Tests if the behavior's input is set or not.
Parameters:
pName
the name of the input
Example:
This example tests the existence of the value of the published CATIAParameter Nb_Cylinder currently managed by a Behavior Beh. 
 if (Beh.TestInput("Nb_Cylinder"))
o Func TestOutput( pName) As
Tests if the behavior's output is set or not.
Parameters:
pName
the name of the output
Example:
This example tests the existence of the value of the published CATIAParameter Power currently managed by a Behavior Beh. 
 if (Beh.TestOutput("Power"))
