Hi guys,

A question to the developers:

Is there an API method or function available to retrieve an information if a text object is bound to a widget datasource.
Scanning the help file, an the API call overview within Visual Studio I did not find a way.

regards

There's nothing I see to get the Data Source selected for the xpTextObject, but on a Take Item in sequence, you can retrieve the PropertySourceType for a published object to see if Static, Datalinq or Widget is selected with a script like this:

dim takeitem as xpTakeItem
dim text1 as xpPublishedObject
dim type as propertysourcetype

engine.Sequencer.GetFocusedTakeItem(takeitem)
takeitem.GetPublishedObjectByName("Text1",text1)
text1.GetPropertySourceType(0,type)

You can check to see if the type is 0, 1 or 2 to determine which Data Source type is selected:
