Programmatically Obtaining Work Item Type Name

1
1
Geoff Alexander (196●2●39●48) | asked Jul 12 '10, 3:30 p.m.
I've created a custom work item type and would like to programmatically obtain the work item type name from an IWorkItem. I've found that IWorkItem#getWorkItemType() returns a String containing the work item type ID, but I've been unable to find a method to obtain the work item type name. How do I obtain the work item type name?

Thanks,
Geoff Alexander

Doing some further investigation, I found that the following code obtains the work item type name: 

String workItemTypeName = workItemCommon.findWorkItemType(workItem.getProjectArea(), workItem.getWorkItemType(), monitor ).getDisplayName();


where workItemCommon is an instance of IWorkItemCommon, workItem is an instance of IWorkItem, and monitor is an instance of IProgressMonitor.
