Change iLogic rule options via vb.net?

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,

a short question.

I want to generate an internal iLogic rule via vb.net.

That is no big Problem.

But I also want to change the setting in the rule options "don't run automatically"

Manually it is no Problem, but is it possible by creating the rule via .net?

 Hi,

with my experience, I think it should work by calling iLogicRule.AutomaticOnParamChange = false. This blog tells how to access iLogicRule.

However, when I tested it today, addin.Automation failed to be casted to iLogicAutomation. I am checking that the issue is.

Hi,

first, thanks for your reply.

I tried it:

(The iLogicAuto is the iLogicAddin)

                
		iLogicAuto.AddRule(oDoc, RuleName, RuleText)
                For Each Element In iLogicAuto.Rules(oDoc)
                    If Element.Name = RuleName Then
                        Element.AutomaticOnParamChange = False
			'Element.AutomaticOnParamChange = True
                        Exit For
                    End If
                Next

The rule is created and everything is fine, except the Options. It makes no difference, which value you use, True or False, both the same = False

So, maybe I did something wrong?

Hi,

I have not made my code VB.NET code work. However, our expert of iLogic confirmed it is true iLogicRule.AutomaticOnParamChange can toggle the option on/off. The attachment is a sample, but in iLogic, instead of VB.NET. 

To test: change the Rule0_Trigger parameter. Then change it again. Each change will toggle the AutomaticOnParamChange flag for the rule named OtherRule. As a result, OtherRule will only run on every other run of Rule0.

the expert also said: 

Maybe you are toggling the rule property too late? If you disable the rule after it was already triggered to run, then the disabling won’t prevent it from running that one time. But it should still disable future automatic runs.
