system.util.getSystemFlags

This function is used in Python Scripting.

Description

Returns an integer that represents a bit field containing information about the currently running system. Each bit corresponds to a specific flag as defined in the bitmask below. The integer return will be a total of all of the bits that are currently active. See the example for tips on how to extract the information in this bit field. Note that the tag [System]Client/System/SystemFlags contains the same value.

Flag	Flag Description	Bit Value
Designer Flag	Set if running in the Designer.	1
Preview Flag	Set if running in the Designer, and the Designer is in preview mode.	2
Client Flag	Set if running as a Client.	4
Webstart Flag	Set if running as a Client in Web Start mode.	8

Code Examples

Example #1

# The first part of the script will take the integer representing the system flags, convert it to bits, and place it in a list and then print it out.
# The second part of the script will take the list of bits, and place it in a table showing what each of the bits represent.
  
myList = []
flags = system.util.getSystemFlags()
for i in range(8,-1,-1):
    myList.insert(0, flags >> i & 1)
print myList
 
headers = ["Designer Flag", "Preview Flag", "Client Flag", "Webstart Flag", "Applet Flag", "Fullscreen Flag", "SSL Flag", "Mobile Flag", "Staging Flag"]
data = system.dataset.toDataSet(headers, [myList])
table = event.source.parent.getComponent("Table")
table.data = data
