Value :: enumStringType - Current enumeration string type
Enumeration values may be provided as enumeration code (number) and string value (name). In order to support different names for enumerations and several languages, one may change the enumString property. The property may contain one of the following enumeration values:
- EnumName - language independent enumerator name as being used in programming code (default)
- EnumLabel - language dependent short name
- EnumTitle - language depending long title
- EnumCondition - language independent condition
- EnumType - type associated with the enumeration value depending description
Assigning string values to the the value handle or converting the attribute value to string (toString()), refers to the string value selected by the string type.
Getting or setting the property value throws an exception, when the value is not an enumerated attribute.
