Content-related ECExpressions

Rule condition

Content rules have a condition ECExpression property which defines which rules should be applied for which instances. The following ECExpression symbols are available there:

Symbol Type Value
SelectedNode NavNode context Expression context of NavNode the content is being requested for.
ContentDisplayType string Preferred display type of the content. It identifies which component will be used to show the content.
SelectionProviderName string Name of the selection handler that last changed the selection.
IsSubSelection bool Indicates whether the last selection event changed the main selection or sub selection.

Additionally, Ruleset variable symbols are available as well.

Instance filter

ECExpressions that are specified in instanceFilter specification properties are converted to ECSQL WHERE clause, so they have some limitations - ony a subset of all the ECExpression symbols are available.

The below table lists all of them:

Symbol Type Value
this ECInstance context ECInstance expression context of ECInstance that's currently being handled
SelectedInstanceKeys ECInstanceKey context[] A value list of primary ECInstance keys

Additionally, User Setting symbols are available as well.

Property overrides

Some property overrides support ECExpressions to determine the value. Only Ruleset variable symbols are available in this ECExpression context.
