Explanation or sample of using UnitsTypeEnum.kTextUnits

I feel curious to see any sample of using UnitsTypeEnum.kTextUnits.
I expect it to work by means of UnitsOfMeasure.GetTypeFromString Method but I failed to get it working (not sure to have used the correct string).

 

PS:
Till now I've found the only subject related thread that does not contain any trustworthy or helpful information (yet marked as "solved").

You could use it like this:

Dim doc As PartDocument = ThisDoc.Document
Dim userParameters = doc.ComponentDefinition.Parameters.UserParameters
userParameters.AddByValue("MyStringParameter", "Parameter text", UnitsTypeEnum.kTextUnits)

 

As a bonus, I wrote a blog article "Parameter, Document and Database Units". In the article, I use the method "UnitsOfMeasure.GetTypeFromString(...)"
