MEAny valueAt (MEOop receiver, int valueAt)
Returns an MEAny representing the nth property value of the
receiver argument, a NonProperty MEOop. The second argument must be an integer,
starting with 1 for the first property.
|
|
MEAny setValueAt (MEOop receiver, int valueAt, MEAny put)
Sets the value of the the nth property value of the receiver
argument, a NonProperty MEOop. The second argument must be an integer, starting
with 1 for the first property. The third argument is an MEAny containing the
value for the property. Returns an MEAny containing the MEOop of the property
that was changed, or an MEAny containing an MENull if unsuccessful (e.g. if the
value is not of the right type or fails the property type's regular expression
rule; uniqueness is not checked).
|
|
MEAnyArray allPropertiesValues (MEOop receiver)
Returns an MEAnyArray of the values of the properties of the
receiver argument, a NonProperty MEOop.
|
|
MEOopArray allProperties (MEOop receiver)
Returns an MEOopArray of the properties of the receiver
argument, a NonProperty MEOop. (Note this returns the actual properties, not
their values: if you want the values, use allPropertiesValues.) This can be
useful when working with property sharing; note though that instProps requires
an MEAnyArray, so each MEOop returned here would have to be wrapped in an MEAny.
The method allPropertiesWrapped returns such an MEAnyArray.
|
|
MEAnyArray allPropertiesWrapped (MEOop receiver)
Returns an MEAnyArray of the properties of the receiver
argument, a NonProperty MEOop. (Note this returns the actual properties, not
their values.) This is useful for setting up property sharing, since instProps
requires an MEAnyArray of properties. To get just the properties as an
MEOopArray, use allProperties. To get just their values, use
allPropertiesValues.
|
|
string allLocalNamesString (METype receiver)
Returns a string with the local names of the properties of the
receiver METype argument, one per line.
|
|
MEAny valueForLocalName (MEOop receiver, string valueForLocalName)
For the receiver argument, an MEOop representing a
NonProperty, return an MEAny representing the value of the first property whose
local name matches the second argument, a string. The MEAny will hold the value
of the property if successful, or an MENull if the string is not a local name in
this type.
|
|
MEAny setValueForLocalName (MEOop receiver, string valueForLocalName, MEAny
put)
For the receiver argument, an MEOop representing a
NonProperty, set the value of the first property whose local name matches the
second argument, a string, to be that in the MEAny in the third argument. Return
an MEAny holding either: the MEOop of the property if successful; or an MENull
if the string is not a local name in this type, the value is not of the right
type, or it fails the property type's regular expression rule; uniqueness is not
checked.
|
|
MEAny propertyForLocalName (MEOop receiver, string propertyForLocalName)
For the receiver argument, an MEOop representing a
NonProperty, return an MEAny representing the first property whose local name
matches the second argument, a string. The MEAny will hold the MEOop of the
property if successful, or an MENull if the string is not a local name in this
type.
|
|
MEAny setPropertyForLocalName (MEOop receiver, string propertyForLocalName,
MEOop put)
For the receiver argument, an MEOop representing a
NonProperty, set into the first property slot whose local name matches the
second argument, a string, the MEOop representing a Property in the third
argument. Return an MEAny holding either: the MEOop of the property if
successful; or an MENull if the string is not a local name in this type. The
legality of the property is not checked.
|
|
MEAny instProps (METype receiver, MEAnyArray propColl,
MEAnyArray valueColl, MEAny np, MEAny inArea)
Creates or sets the properties of an instance of the METype
argument, returning an MEAny with the MEOop of the instance, or MENull for an
error. The first argument is the METype; propColl is an array of MEAnys, either
MEOops of existing property instances or MENull to create a new property of the
default type; valueColl is an array of MEAnys, the values of the properties; np
is an MEAny, either the MEOop of an existing NonProperty of this type, or MENull
to create a new one; inArea is an MEAny, either an integer corresponding to the
project's area number, or MENull for the default (the same project as np if it
exists already, else the current default project). Property values are assumed
to be as desired: regular expression rules and uniqueness are not
checked.
|
|
MEAny instPropsLocking (METype receiver, MEAnyArray propCollLocking, MEAnyArray
valueColl, MEAny np, MEAny inArea)
As instProps, but also locks the properties, np and other
internal objects if necessary.
|
|
MEOop unsafeNew (METype receiver)
Create and return the MEOop of a new instance of the receiver
argument, a NonProperty type METype. The result is created in the current
default project. Properties are created with their default values, and the
result is not checked against the metamodel rules.
|
|
MEAny createGraphDialog (METype receiver) *
Opens the Create Graph dialog, with the Graph type in the
first argument as the initial selection (or none, if this is the Graph
metatype). Creates the graph and returns an MEAny containing the new graph's
MEOop, or MENull if creation was cancelled or unsuccessful. As the graph is new,
it will have at most one representation, which can be found from its
repSet.
|
|
MEAny createFromPropertyDialogInArea (METype receiver, int
createFromPropertyDialogInArea) *
Opens a property dialog to create a new instance of the first
argument, an METype. The project to store the new instance in is specified by
the second argument, an integer. Valid numbers are 3 and above, and an existing
instance's project/area number can be found from the areaID of its MEOop.
Returns an MEAny, containing the MEOop of the new instance or an MENull if
unsuccessful.
|
|
boolean propertyDialog (MEOop receiver) *
Opens a property dialog for the receiver argument, an MEOop of
a NonProperty instance. Returns true if the edit is successful or false if the
user cancels.
