query in apex class to get all values in a multi-select picklist
I need to know how to query to get all the configured multi-select picklist values. I need it from the general field configuration, not from a specific record. I have an apex class where I am selected records from an object. I only want to select those records that contain a value configured within this multi-select picklist field. This field is not linked to, nor should it be, to the multi-select picklist.
I'll use the below screen shot to better explain. I want to query the custom multi-picklist field to get all valid values. So looking at the screen shot below, I want the query to return (106, 107, 108, 109, 117, 119, 126, 127, 128). It seems this should be easy to do, but I can't find anything that points me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance for any help provideded!
