Description

Aliases

@ObservableCollection<string>

The alias names for one or more structures. The number of aliases specified must be less than or equal to the number of structures specified via the Structures property. Setting this property is the equivalent of using the -a command line option. If a task does not list aliases but the TaskSet does then those aliases will be used.

AllowTemplateFolder

Allow template files to specify an output sub-folder. If this property is false then any <CODEGEN_FOLDER> tokens will be ignored. Setting this property to true is the equivalent to using the -tf command line option.

AlwaysLoadDefaultButtons

Boolean

Always load default button definitions from DefaultButtons.xml even if processing a UI Toolkit input window definition which may provide button definitions. Setting this property is the equivalent of using the -ba command line option.

This option is useful if the structure that you are using is assigned to multiple files because by default CodeGen will use the first assigned file. The number of file overrides provided must be less than or equal to the number of structures specified via the Structures property. Setting this property is the equivalent of using the -fo command line option.

GroupFieldNoGroupPrefix

Boolean

Don't prefix group fields with group name. Setting this property is the equivalent of using the -g f command line option.

IgnoreScriptFieldAttributes

Boolean

When processing input from a UI Toolkit Window script file this option prevents script file input window field attributes from being used to override repository field attributes. This allows you to generate code based on only the fields listed in an input window, but using only the repository field definitions. Setting this property is the equivalent of using the -wn command line option.

MultiWriteFiles

Boolean

Multi-write file if same file generated more than once. Setting this property is the equivalent of using the -mw command line option.

NeverLoadAnyButtons

Boolean

Never load any buttons (from DefaultButtons.xml or from a window script). Setting this property is the equivalent of using the -bn command line option.

NeverLoadDefaultButtons

Boolean

Never use the default buttons defined in DefaultButtons.xml. Setting this property is the equivalent of using the -bd command line option.

NoCustomPluralization

Boolean

Suppresses the features of the <STRUCTURE_PLURAL> and <STRUCTURE_NOPLURAL> tokens, making them behave the same as <STRUCTURE_NAME>. Setting this property is the equivalent of using the -ncp command line option.

OutputFolder

String

Output directory. Defaults to the current directory, or the directory specified with the CODEGEN_OUTDIR environment variable. You can use a full or relative path, or a logical followed by a colon (e.g. SRC:). Setting this property is the equivalent of using the -o  command line option.

PreProcessUserTokens

Boolean

Should we treat user-defined tokens as pre-processor tokens. If this property is set to true then user-defined tokens will be expanded out

to other tokens during tokenization, thus making it possible for the value of user defined tokens to contain other tokens. Setting this property to true is equivalent to using the -utpp command line option.

PreserveArrays

Boolean

Should array fields be preserved instead of expanded to multiple fields. Setting this property is equivalent to using the -pa command line option.

PrimaryKeyNumber

int

Overrides the key that is used within primary key blocks. Setting this property is the equivalent of using the -opk command line option.

ReplaceFiles

Boolean

Replace existing files.  By default existing files are not replaced. Setting this property is the equivalent of using the -r command line option.

RepositoryFile

String

Repository file name to process. This option causes all structures that are assigned to the file definition to be available for use when processing templates. The result is the same as specifying multiple structures via the Structures property and setting the MultipleStructures property to true. Setting this property is the equivalent of using the -file command line option.

RepositoryMainFile

String

Repository main file to use only for this task. The repository main file can also be set via the CodeGenTaskSet.RepositoryMainFile property which specifies the same repository main file for all tasks. Setting this property is also the equivalent of setting the RPSMFIL environment variable.

String

Repository text file to use only for this task. The repository text file can also be set via the CodeGenTaskSet.RepositoryTextFile property which specifies the same repository text file for all tasks. Setting this property is also the equivalent of setting the RPSTFIL environment variable.

RepositoryOverrideFile

String

Specifies the name of a repository override file. Setting this property is the equivalent of using the -rpsoverride command line option.

SelectionWindowScript

String

Window script selection list processing. When this option is used CodeGen will examine any fields which have selection windows specified and will attempt to populate the field selections property based on the selection items defined in the named selection window. Setting this property is the equivalent of using the -ws command line option.

Structures
