Reading a valuelist

I feel like I’m missing something here, but I can not find out how to read data from a valuelist component using GH_InputParamManager and IGH_DataAccess.GetData in Visual Studio.

Maybe someone has a little example to clarify this?

Thanks

You can only read the value you’re given by the Value List, not its other values. Is that what you’re after?

Hi David, thank you for your reply. Looking back at the question, it was a typical friday afternoon thing.

I found out the initial question to ask should have been: “How can I add string items to a value list’s expression field?” and the answer is simple: wrap it in quotes:

vallist.ListItems.Add(new GH_ValueListItem(value, "\"" + value + "\"")

Or:

vallist.ListItems.Add(new GH_ValueListItem(value, value.ToString())
