Checking the State of an object
The following ALH API checks whether a particular object is in a specific state name.
boolean inState(Object_ object, String stateName) boolean inState(String stateName)
Unless the object is specified, it will use the current active object, for example:
if (ALH.inState(ccobj, "Operating")) { force=ccForce } else { force = acc*2 }

You can use the following API to retrieve a current State of a specified object. If the object has more than one active State, it recognizes which the runtime State is, and finds it.
State getState(Object_ object)
The following code fragment shows how to get the current state of a specified object using ALH API.
ALH.getState(o);
It returns the Instance of the following
com.nomagic.uml2.ext.magicdraw.statemachines.mdbehaviorstatemachines.State.
Checking a visited State
You can check whether a specified State was visited by calling the following command.
