Summary

This block is used to divide a strategy into several flows depending on a condition based on the type of a component.Only one flow will be executed. 

Implementation

• Drag and drop the block from the palette
• Link the "execute" action from the "executed" topic of the previous block
• Click right and trigger the action SetCaseCount. Define the number of cases you want to define.
• Link topics "DefaultTopic" and "topicX" to block(s) to execute depending the case

Example

In the following example, the block checks the type of the parent of the origin, whether it's a NumericPoint, a BooleanPoint etc.

 Properties

• Target: SFormat to define a component. Its type will be compared to the following values.
• ComparePolicy { Is, Equals }: To define the way the target type will be compared to listed types.
  
  • Is: The target's type should be the described type or a "child" of this type. Ex: Case 2: the target could be a BooleanPoint or a BooleanWritable
  • Equals: The target's type should be exactly the described type. Ex: Case 2: the target should be a BooleanPoint. A BooleanWritable won't satisfy the condition
• DefaultCase: If no case is equal to the parameter.
• CaseX: Possible values for the parameter.

Actions

• SetCaseCount: To set the count of cases to handle. The default one is not taken into account.

Behavior: DO & UNDO

The topic of the only valid case will be triggered. Others won't.
