[icf-dev] Adding a new attribute to a container

In the beta version of Dynamics2 I was advised to add the attribute to the

container class attributes which existed in;

Object Control -Dynamic Objects -DLProc.

However, in the new version of Dynamics2 the container level has disappeared

from the DLProc option.

I am trying to add an attribute which will decide whether to add a button to

the toolbar within the container. Where should I now add this attribute?

Karen.

Hi Karen,

You need to add the attribute to the class level first - this is your

highest level. Once added for the class, it will allow you to add it for the

container. I think the message on the More tab is a bit more descriptive.

Subject: Adding a new attribute to a container

I have added a new attribute through attribute control in the development

menu. When I try to add this new attribute to a container (DynObjc) in

repository maintenance I get the following message:

"The attribute specified is not valid for the object's class. (DynObjc)"

I am developing using Dynamics2, has the method changed for this version to

add new user defined attributes to containers?

Hi Karen,

All attributes need to be set against a class (object type) before they can be added to objects. You would thus need to set the attribute you have created against one of the classes that the object inherits from. Where you set it depends on the attribute (how class-specific it is, primarily).

The object type maintenance on the Development menu can be used for this.

This is a change that has come in in V2.

HTH,

Peter

Hi Karen,

in Dynamics 2 you must add the new attribute to the class using the

development menu -> Objects -> Object Type Control. I am not sure if you

need to restart your Dynamics session before you can add the attribute to

objects of that class. In any case you should restart your appserver, as the

appserver caches the class definitions.

You should try to avoid adding new attributes to the standard object types.

You should add a new object type that extends the DynObjc object type and

add (only) the new attribute to that type. Objects from that new type

(class) have derived the attributes from the DynObjc and the new attribute.

HTH,

Mike Fechner
