Remove Replicant Instance

Hi All,

I have to check on a condition that user can not add new replicant after certain number of instances. As i am on TS 6.1 ... i can not check the same prior to add.

Now we have decided to use event 'onItemAdded' for the replicant and as soon as it exceeds the max number allowed ... we want to give an alert and remove the just added instance of that replicant.

Any help or suggestions to remove the instance would be much appreciated.

Yeah, just count the number of instances:

var numRepl = IWDatacapture.getItem("/root/outerContainer").getChildren().length;

Use this to capture the number of instances and then using event handling, remove the most recent item that was added. You'll pass the item to your function which is how you can tell which child it is.

Is there any method.. which can remove the replicant instance at a go?

No, I don't believe so. At least, not as of version 6.5 -- but I noticed you're inquiring about 6.1.

Can you help me to get some pointers or suggestions... as how to get over with the issue?

I was just looking at the 6.1 documentation and it doesn't seem as though there's an event to handle when replicants are added or a method to remove replicants. I wouldn't be surprised if there is some back-door way to get this to work but nothing immediately comes to mind.
