---|---|---|
Alias |
String Notes: Read/Write Contains the (optional) 'Alias' property for this attribute. This can be used interchangeably with the Style attribute. |
|
AllowDuplicates |
Boolean Notes: Read/Write Indicates if duplicates are allowed in the collection. If the attribute represents a database column this, when set, represents the 'Not Null' option. |
|
AttributeGUID |
String Notes: Read only A globally unique ID for the current attribute. This attribute is system generated. |
|
AttributeID |
Long Notes: Read only The local ID number of the attribute. |
|
ClassifierID |
Long Notes: Read/Write The classifier ID, if appropriate, indicating the base type associated with the attribute, if not a primitive type. |
|
Constraints |
Collection Notes: Read only A collection of AttributeConstraint objects, used to access and manage constraints associated with this attribute. |
Collection Class |
Container |
String Notes: Read/Write The container type. |
|
Containment |
String Notes: Read/Write The type of containment - Not Specified, By Reference or By Value. |
|
Default |
String Notes: Read/Write The initial value assigned to this attribute. |
|
FQStereotype |
String Notes: Read Only The fully-qualified stereotype name in the format "Profile::Stereotype". One or more fully-qualified stereotype names can be assigned to StereotypeEx. |
|
IsCollection |
Boolean Notes: Read/Write Indicates if the current feature is a collection or not. If the attribute represents a database column this, when set, represents a Foreign Key. |
|
IsConst |
Boolean Notes: Read/Write A flag indicating if the attribute is Const or not. |
|
IsDerived |
Boolean Notes: Read/Write Indicates if the attribute is derived (that is, a calculated value). |
|
IsID |
Boolean Notes: Read/Write Indicates if the attribute uniquely identifies an instance of the containing Class, or not. |
|
IsOrdered |
Boolean Notes: Read/Write Indicates if a collection is ordered or not. If the attribute represents a database column this, when set, represents a Primary Key. |
|
IsStatic |
Boolean Notes: Read/Write Indicates if the current attribute is a static feature or not. If the attribute represents a database column this, when set, represents the 'Unique' option. |
|
Length |
String Notes: Read/Write The attribute length, where applicable. |
|
LowerBound |
String Notes: Read/Write A value for the collection lower boundary. |
|
Name |
String Notes: Read/Write The attribute name. |
|
Notes |
String Notes: Read/Write Further notes on this attribute. |
|
ObjectType |
ObjectType Notes: Read only Distinguishes objects referenced through a Dispatch interface. |
ObjectType |
ParentID |
Long Notes: Read only Returns the ElementID of the element that this attribute is a part of. |
|
Pos |
Long Notes: Read/Write The position of the attribute in the Class attribute list. |
|
Precision |
String Notes: Read/Write The precision value. |
|
RedefinedProperty |
String Notes: Read/Write Corresponds to the 'Redefined Property' field on the 'Detail' page of the attribute 'Properties' dialog, or the UML redefinedProperty attribute. Contains a comma separated list of GUIDs. |
|
Scale |
String Notes: Read/Write The scale value. |
|
Stereotype |
String Notes: Read/Write Sets or gets the stereotype for this attribute. When setting this attribute, LastError (for the GetLastError method) will be non-empty if an error occurs. |
|
StereotypeEx |
String Notes: Read/Write Provides all the applied stereotypes of the attribute, in a comma-separated list. Reading the value will provide the stereotype name only; assigning the value accepts either fully-qualified or simple names. When setting this attribute, LastError (for the GetLastError method) will be non-empty if an error occurs. |
|
Style |
String Notes: Read/Write Contains the (optional) Alias property for this attribute. This can be used interchangeably with the Alias attribute. |
|
StyleEx |
String Notes: Read/Write Advanced style settings, reserved for the use of Sparx Systems. |
|
SubsettedProperty |
String Notes: Read/Write Corresponds to the 'Subsetted Property' field on the 'Detail' page of the attribute 'Properties' dialog, or the UML subsettedProperty attribute. Contains a comma separated list of GUIDs. |
|
TaggedValues |
Collection of type AttributeTag Notes: Read only A collection of AttributeTag objects, used to access and manage Tagged Values associated with this attribute. |
AttributeTag Class Collection Class |
TaggedValuesEx |
Collection of type TaggedValue Notes: Read only A collection of TaggedValue objects belonging to the current attribute and the TaggedValuesEx property of its classifier. |
TaggedValue Class Collection Class |
Type |
String Notes: Read/Write The attribute type (by name; also see ClassifierID). |
|
TypeInfoProperties |
Notes: Read only Returns an interface pointer of TypeInfoProperties. |
TypeInfoProperties Class |
UpperBound |
String Notes: Read/Write A value for the collection upper boundary. |
|
Visibility |
String Notes: Read/Write Identifies the scope of the attribute - Private, Protected, Public or Package. |
