Get all fields of an enumeration

You can get fields of a specific type from the list of fields. The following is an example of getting type information for an enumeration field in a model.

public void OutputEnumFields(ICommandContext c, ICommandParams p) 
{ 
//Get all fields of the metaclass of the currently displayed model 
var fields = c.App.Workspace.CurrentModel.Metaclass.Fields.Values; 

foreach ( var field in fields ) 
{ 
//Exclude fields that start with $, as they are system fields 
if (field.Name.StartsWith("$")) continue; 

//Exclude fields that are not enumerations 
var enumType = field.TypeEnum; 
if (enumType == null) continue; 

//Output the display name of the enumeration 
c.App.Output.WriteLine("sample", $"Enumeration name: {enumType.DisplayName}"); 
} 
} 

Note

When you get fields using the API, you can also get system-defined fields at the same time. Fields defined by the system follow the following rules, so exclude them if you do not need them.

• The name (IField.Name) is prefixed with "$"
• The name (IField.Name) is prefixed with "___"
