In a Rose model, tables are essentially classes. One can therefore add
custom property to tables (i.e., classes). However the Data Modeler
specification dialogs can not be customized and no tab page can be added
using for example the REI CreateDefaultPropertySet method. For example,
assume that there is a table named T_0 in the model. The following script
will run correctly, adding a tab page to classes in the model and the
property to the table T_0. However, opening the specification dialog for the
table will not display the tab page that was added. The property values will
thus need to be added and retrieved using REI scripting facility.
Const ToolName As String = "toolName"
Const PropertyName As String = "PropertyFoo"
Sub Main
Dim theClass As Class
Dim theModel As Model
Dim props As DefaultModelProperties
Dim theProperty As Property
Set theClass = roseApp.CurrentModel.GetAllClasses.GetFirst("T_0")
If theClass Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Table T_0 could not be found."
Exit Sub
End If
Set theModel = roseApp.CurrentModel
Set props = theModel.DefaultProperties
If Not props.CreateDefaultPropertySet(theClass.GetPropertyClassName,
ToolName, "default") Then
MsgBox "Failed to create new tab for table."
End If
If Not props.AddDefaultProperty(theClass.GetPropertyClassName, ToolName,
"default", PropertyName, "String", "Hello World!") Then
MsgBox "Failed to create new property for an table."
End If
Set theProperty = theClass.FindProperty(ToolName, PropertyName)
If Not theProperty Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Table T_0 has a property named " & _
theProperty.Name & " " & "Value: " & theProperty.Value
End If
End Sub
