How to find the typedefination of a node

[milublues]

Hello,

While adding a node in the object tree, I want to check the type definition of the parent node. If it satisfies the condition , then only we can add else not.
My prob. is how to check the type definition there.

For ex.
say, I have a node of type XYZ.
Now, I am adding a node in my object tree and the user have given me following information
Node To Add :---- NewNode
Parent Node :---- ParentNode (i;e the new node will be added below parent node )

Here, I want to check if the ParentNode Type definition is XYZ. If so, I will add the node else not.

Now, How can I check the type definition of parent Node ?

Hi Milan,

If you have the NodeId of the parent node you can just call Browse with a reference type filter set to the HasTypeDefinition.

If you have a Node object in a server SDK, the availability of a simplified access depends on the SDK. In the C++ SDK, there is a getter for the TypeDefinition NodeId.
