Parent page: Technical Reference - Workspace Manager API

Please note that this documentation was last updated for an older version of Altium Designer. While many of the principles and approaches will remain the same, be aware that interfaces, objects, methods, properties, and the like will have changed since then, and will not reflect the entirety of those found in later versions of the software.

WorkSpace Enumerated Types

The enumerated types are used for many of the WorkSpace Manager interfaces methods which are covered in this section. For example the IPart interface has a Function DM_ComponentKind : TComponentKind; method. You can use this Enumerated Types section to check what the range is for the TComponentKind type.
