What does the “Undefined” state mean for IDmsElement.State?

Hi All

I'm working with the IDmsElement property State, which returns an enum with several options, including "Undefined." I'm not entirely sure what "Undefined" represents or under what conditions an element would enter this state.

Could someone clarify:

  1. What does the "Undefined" state indicate?
  2. When/why would an element's state become "Undefined"?

Thanks!

Hi Jason,
That’s a good question. I’d say it’s probably used when none of the other states can be clearly determined, instead of throwing an exception. But let’s see if someone can clarify it better.
