InformationModel.MakeObjectType<T>(browseName, superTypeId)

Creates a project object type derived from the type indicated in the second argument (supertype) and returns a C# object of the specified <T> type.

Tip: At design time, the API functions only if the specified type is a predefined type (contained in the FTOptix modules).

static T MakeObjectType<T>(QualifiedName browseName, NodeId superTypeId);

Arguments

T: An IUAObject C# class that corresponds to the class of the C# object to return.
browseName (QualifiedName): The BrowseName of the new object.
superTypeId (NodeId): TheNodeID of the type from which the new object is derived.

Returns

T: A C# object that corresponds to the project object created.

Example

The following example shows an API that creates a NewMotorType object of the Motor type, searched with the Find method, and then specified using NodeID that returns a MotorType C# object:

var supertype = Project.Current.Find("Motor");
var myObj = InformationModel.MakeObjectType<MotorType>("NewMotorType", supertype.NodeId);
Owner.Add(myObj);
