Deleting RsProcessDefinition

This example provides information on deleting an RsProcessDefinition from RobotStudio. An active station is needed for this example.

Pass a process definition name as a parameter. To check the result of the Add-In, ensure that the process defintion has been deleted from RobotStudio template manager.

Solution

  1. Get the active station.

    // Get active station             
Station station = Station.ActiveStation;

  2. Try to get the RsProcessDefinition from the RsProcessDefinitionCollection of the active task based on the definition name.

    // Try to get the process definition from the active task  
if (station.ActiveTask.ProcessDefinitions.TryGetProcessDefinition(processDefinitionName, out RsProcessDefinition definition))

  3. Remove the RsProcessDefinition object from the RsProcessDefinitionCollection of the active task.

    // Remove the process definition if found
station.ActiveTask.ProcessDefinitions.Remove(definition);

Example

This example provides information on deleting an RsProcessDefinition from RobotStudio.

private static void DeleteProcessDefinition(string processDefinitionName)
{
    Project.UndoContext.BeginUndoStep("DeleteProcessDefinition");
    try
    {
        // Get active station             
        Station station = Station.ActiveStation;

        // Try to get the process definition from the active task  
        if (station.ActiveTask.ProcessDefinitions.TryGetProcessDefinition(processDefinitionName, out RsProcessDefinition definition))
        {
            // Remove the process definition if found
            station.ActiveTask.ProcessDefinitions.Remove(definition);
        }
    }
    catch
    {
        Project.UndoContext.CancelUndoStep(CancelUndoStepType.Rollback);
        throw;
    }
    finally
    {
        Project.UndoContext.EndUndoStep();
    }
}
