Thread Safety

Public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are safe for multithreaded operations. Instance members are not guaranteed to be thread-safe.

Remarks

A switch is an on/off or true/false input to the model. The ithink/STELLA switch is expressed as a checkbox here.

Example

C# Example:

...
private Checkbox hireNewCEO;

public void Init()
{
    this.hireNewCEO = this.Simulation.GetCheckbox("hire_new_CEO");
}

public void Update()
{
    this.checkboxControl.Text = this.hireNewCEO.Name;
    if(this.hireNewCEO.ResetAfterRunStep)
    {
        this.checkboxControl.Checked = Convert.ToBoolean(this.hireNewCEO.InitialValue);
    }
}

public void UpdateInputs
{
    if(this.checkboxControl.Checked)
    {
        this.hireNewCEO.CurrentValue = 1;
    }
    else
    {
        this.hireNewCEO.CurrentValue = 0;
    }
}

VB.NET Example:

...
Private hireNewCEO as Checkbox

Public Sub Init()
    Me.hireNewCEO = Me.Simulation.GetCheckbox("hire_new_CEO")
End Sub

Public Sub Update()
    Me.checkboxControl.Text = Me.hireNewCEO.Name
    If Me.hireNewCEO.ResetAfterRunStep Then
        Me.checkboxControl.Checked = Convert.ToBoolean(Me.hireNewCEO.InitialValue)
    End If
End Sub

Public Sub UpdateInputs
    If Me.checkboxControl.Checked Then
        Me.hireNewCEO.CurrentValue = 1
    Else
        Me.hireNewCEO.CurrentValue = 0
    End If
End Sub
