## Enum ChildrenPropertyMode

- java.lang.Object
- - java.lang.Enum<ChildrenPropertyMode>
  - - com.smartgwt.client.types.ChildrenPropertyMode

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    ValueEnum, java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<ChildrenPropertyMode>

      public enum ChildrenPropertyMode
      extends java.lang.Enum<ChildrenPropertyMode>
      implements ValueEnum

  when heuristically finding a property that appears to contain child objects, the ChildrenPropertyMode determines how to chose the property appears to contain child objects

- - ### Enum Constant Summary

    Enum Constants
    Enum Constant and Description
    `ANY` assume the first object or array value we find is the children property
    `ARRAY` assume the first array we find is the children property, no matter the contents
    `OBJECT` assume the first object or array of objects we find is the children property (don't allow arrays that don't have objects)
    `OBJECTARRAY` accept only an array of objects as the children property

  - ### Method Summary

    All Methods Static Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `java.lang.String` | `getValue()`
    `static ChildrenPropertyMode` | `valueOf(java.lang.String name)` Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
    `static ChildrenPropertyMode[]` | `values()` Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

- - ### Enum Constant Detail

    - #### ANY

          public static final ChildrenPropertyMode ANY

      assume the first object or array value we find is the children property

      If this enumerated value is used in a `Component XML` file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "any".

    - #### ARRAY

          public static final ChildrenPropertyMode ARRAY

      assume the first array we find is the children property, no matter the contents

      If this enumerated value is used in a `Component XML` file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "array".

    - #### OBJECT

          public static final ChildrenPropertyMode OBJECT

      assume the first object or array of objects we find is the children property (don't allow arrays that don't have objects)

      If this enumerated value is used in a `Component XML` file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "object".

    - #### OBJECTARRAY

          public static final ChildrenPropertyMode OBJECTARRAY

      accept only an array of objects as the children property

      If this enumerated value is used in a `Component XML` file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "objectArray".

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### values

          public static ChildrenPropertyMode[] values()

      Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

          for (ChildrenPropertyMode c : ChildrenPropertyMode.values())
              System.out.println(c);

      Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

    - #### valueOf

          public static ChildrenPropertyMode valueOf(java.lang.String name)

      Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
      Parameters:
        `name` - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
      Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
      Throws:
        `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        `java.lang.NullPointerException` - if the argument is null

    - #### getValue

          public java.lang.String getValue()

      Specified by:
        `getValue` in interface `ValueEnum`
