Re: [ptp-dev] Getting default value for StringAttribute

[Dave Wootton <dwootton@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm using attributes sent from the proxy to set up the label associated 
with a widget in my launch configuration tab pane and to set up the 
tooltip text. I wanted to get the default value from the attribute sent by 
the proxy so that I can put default values in each widget.

I only have one line of code in my pane where I'm trying to get the 
default value, so what you suggested below works fine for me.

Dave,

What do you want the default value for? You can get the default value 
by creating a string attribute with no initial value, then getting 
the value of the attribute. We could provide a getDefaultValue() 
convenience method if you're going to be doing this a lot.

Given an attribute definition, you'd do something like this:

StringAttribute attr = JobAttributes.getQueueIdAttributeDefinition 
().create();
String defValue = attr.getValue();

If you already have an attribute, the you'd do something like:

String defValue = attr.getDefinition().create().getValue();

Let me know if you'd us to add getDefaultValue() and will put it in.
