ArcGIS RT SDK for Qt - message properties unknow

Question

I down't know how can I get the list of all the properties that I can set to a message ( before to proccess ) corresponding in my case to a military symbology   SymbolDictionary.DictionaryType set in my MessageGroupLayer.

Ex:

message.setID("1879");

message.setProperty("_type", "position_report");

message.setProperty("_action", "update");

message.setProperty("_control_points", "7843536.41455,4088224.16202");

message.setProperty("_wkid", 3857);

message.setProperty("sic","GFGPOPP-------X");

message.setProperty("uniquedesignation", "1");

How can I know what other properties as key-value pairs, that I can set to my messages?

Thanks in advance

I am not aware of any near term work on this (but perhaps others will know and/or the best way to request a feature like this).

But it is an unfortunate nature of such a large and inclusive standard like 2525 that some things are shown that are not fully specified (or not specified to the level that they could be unambiguously encoded in a message format). This particular feature could use some further detail/specification of how one might implement/exchange such a feature. For instance, the data attributes used to drive such dynamic graphics.

Thanks very much, Christopher!

Do you think that will be consider this "Dynamic Graphic Modifiers" in some next future release?

Thanks again for your help.

Those "Dynamic Graphic Modifiers" shown in that section of that Table IV (and shown in Figure IV) are unfortunately not supported in Runtime. The standard is somewhat vague about how to represent and exchange that type of information. So if your system has this specific requirement, you would have to implement these graphics using custom drawing (not message processor properties - if needed, the list of properties Runtime supports is here: military-features-data/data/mil2525c at master · Esri/military-features-data · GitHub ).

A few years ago we did a custom drawing sample using the Qt API here: vehicle-commander-qt/mapcompass.cpp at master · Esri/vehicle-commander-qt · GitHub  - but I am not sure how current this approach is (that is, there might be easier ways to do this custom drawing with the Qt API now)
