2.6.1 Defining new property types

If you want to create a new property type:
1)Select Metamodel | Property Tool or press the Property Tool button in the MetaEdit+ Launcher toolbar.
2)Enter the name of the property in the Name field. In Figure 2–20 the name of the property is ‘DisplayFnRef’.
3)Select the project for the new property type by choosing from the Project pull-down list. If the project you want is not yet open, you can open it from the MetaEdit+ Launcher (Repository | Open Project...).
4)Select a data type from the Data Type pull-down list.
5)Make any desired selections for widget, item type, default value, or value regex (which fields are shown depends on the data type chosen).
6)Enter information about the property type in the Description field (this documentation will be shown to the user if entered value for the property does not match the regex).
7)Press the Save toolbar button.
