State (automation interface)
A State is the Modeler Automation Interface object for the following items:
• Atomic State
• Concurrent State
• Entry State
• Exit State
• Final State
• Fork State
• History State
• Initial State
• Join State
• Junction State
• Sequential State
• Submachine State
To create a State through the Modeler Automation Interface, you must use the AddByType function. For more information, see
Add by Type.
ATTRIBUTES:
Description
A textual property that gives an overview of the dictionary item.

Is History State
A string that indicates whether a State represents a History State. Possible values are TRUE or FALSE.
Access is read-only.
Is Start State
A string that indicates whether a State represents an Initial State. Possible values are TRUE or FALSE.
Access is read-only.
Is Result State
A string that indicates whether a State represents a Final State. Possible values are TRUE or FALSE.
Access is read-only.
UML State Type
A string that specifies whether the State is an Atomic State, Concurrent State, Entry State, Exit State, Final State, Fork State, History State, Initial State, Join State, Junction State, Sequential State or Submachine State.
Possible values are as follows:
• Atomic
• Concurrent
• Entry
• Exit
• Final
• Fork
• History
• Initial
