Having Issues with EProperty.Misc, EMiscFlag.NoLog

[dmurphy]

I'm having issues setting the NoLog property.....error says something about key being used already. it fails when I try to add ShowValues

Any ideas?

// update device with reference data

                Dictionary<EProperty, object> additionalData = new Dictionary<EProperty, object>();

                additionalData.Add(EProperty.Interface, Utils.Id); //Don't change this, or the device won't be associated with your plugin

                _hs.UpdateDeviceByRef(dvRef, additionalData);



                additionalData = new Dictionary<EProperty, object>();

                additionalData.Add(EProperty.Misc, EMiscFlag.NoLog); //As default, we don't want to log every device value change to the log


                additionalData.Add(EProperty.Misc, EMiscFlag.ShowValues); //If not set, device control options will not be displayed




                _hs.UpdateDeviceByRef(dvRef, additionalData);

But this works.....making progress, wish I knew why one works and the other doesn't......

        public int CreateBasicDevice(string name, string location, string location2)

        {
            Logger.LogTrace("CreateBasicDevice()");

            int dvRef = 0;


            try

            {
                // EMiscFlag.NoLog : As default, we don't want to log every device value change to the log

                // EMiscFlag.ShowValues : If not set, device control options will not be displayed

                EMiscFlag[] hsFlags = new EMiscFlag[] { EMiscFlag.NoLog, EMiscFlag.ShowValues, EMiscFlag.SetDoesNotChangeLastChange};


                // Create device object

                DeviceFactory df = DeviceFactory.CreateDevice(Utils.Id);

                df.WithName(name);

                df.WithLocation(location);

                df.WithLocation2(location2);

                df.AsType(EDeviceType.Generic, 0);

                df.WithMiscFlags(hsFlags);


                // create new device in hs

                NewDeviceData ndd = df.PrepareForHs();

                dvRef = _hs.CreateDevice(ndd);


                // update device with reference data

                Dictionary<EProperty, object> additionalData = new Dictionary<EProperty, object>();

                additionalData.Add(EProperty.Interface, Utils.Id); //Don't change this, or the device won't be associated with your plugin

                _hs.UpdateDeviceByRef(dvRef, additionalData);

            }

            catch (Exception ex)

            {
                Logger.LogError("Unable to create basic device. Error: " + ex.Message);
            }


            return dvRef;

        }

_hs.UpdateDeviceByRef(dvRef, additionalData);

I still wonder why HST didn't do it standard OO way - when they redesigned the API?
I.e.

device.Update(additionalData)
