[gme-users] How to get the derived classes of one base class in the<<connection>>

[Matthew J. Emerson]

C++ cast operators won't work but the derived types will have constructors
which accept the base type.

Subject: [gme-users] How to get the derived classes of one base class in
the<<connection>>


hi,all

   I meet with a problem.In my meta-model, one <<connection>> called
"DataLink" connects two Ends,the src is an abstract <<Atom>> called
"BaseType", the dst is an <<atom>> called EditBox. two <<atom>>s  called
"Float" and "Int" inherit "BaseType".


In my user-model,a true Int <<Atom>> connects a EditBox by a "DataLink"
line.When developing interpreter,I want to get the Int class instead of
BaseType class.But I only find the following  method:

BaseType  DataLinkImpl::getSrc()
{
    BON::ConnectionEnd ce = ConnectionImpl::getSrc();
	BaseType sp( ce);
	if ( sp)
		return sp;

	BaseType empty;
	return empty;  
}


I try to translate base class "BastType" into "Int" or "Float" class by
dynamic_cast<>,
I failed. 

BaseType bt=DataLink->getSrc();
Int myInt(bt);

failed again.

help me!!    thanks!
