Description

A signature of one or all features.

Property type

A Long value.  

Syntax

object.Signature([FeatureIndex])

The Signature Property syntax has these parts:

PartDescription
objectAn expression evaluating to an object of type McFeatures.
FeatureIndexOptional. A Long value.

The index of the feature for which the signature is desired, or -1 for a signature of all features combined.

Remarks

Property changed notifications are sent when any feature changes, but there are some cases where it must be determined if a particular feature is still the same as it was before the property change. The Signature can be used to detect quickly if a feature has changed from some earlier state.

The computed Signature value depends only on the coordinates of the feature(s); it does not depend on the OptionFlags or on the FeatureStatusFlags.
