Concurrency

Variant

Notes: Read/Write

Indicates the concurrency type of the method.

FQStereotype

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.

IsConst

Boolean

Notes: Read/Write

A flag indicating that the method is Const.

IsLeaf

Boolean

Notes: Read/Write

A flag to indicate if the method is a Leaf (cannot be overridden).

IsPure

Boolean

ParentID

Long

Notes: Read only

Returns the ElementID of the element that this method belongs to.

Pos

Long

Notes: Read/Write

Specifies the position of the method within the set of operations defined for a Class.

When setting this attribute, LastError (for the GetLastError method) will be non-empty if an error occurs.

StereotypeEx

String

Notes: Read/Write

All the applied stereotypes of the method in a comma-separated list. Reading the value will provide the stereotype name only; assigning the value accepts either fully-qualified or simple names.
