[udm-users] RE: [great-users] Editing the GME registry in GReAT

[Endre Magyari]

Matt,


	The right way to do this is to add the 'registry' attribute to the UML  
diagram, regenerate the API and then use the normal attribute access  
method to set/get the attribute.
	If you don't know the attribute's name "design time", there is still a  
solution, as soon as you know the name of the attribute "run-time", first  
you add such an Uml::Attribute  meta-object to the corresponding  
Uml::Class meta-object,and you set all it's attributes correctly(registry  
= true, non-persistent=false, min=0, max=1,name=..., ... ).
	Then you use a ObjectImpl::setStringAttr() to set it's value.

Hope this helps,
Endre
