IMetabaseCustomObject.CreateWriter

Syntax

CreateWriter: IMetabaseCustomObjectWriter;

Description

The CreateWriteer method creates an object that enables writing data into the object.

Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains a custom class object with the OBJ_CUSTOM identifier. There also must be the file C:\From.txt.

Sub UserProc;
Var
    Mb: IMetabase;
    CustomObject: IMetabaseCustomObject;
    Writer: IMetabaseCustomObjectWriter;
Begin
    Mb := MetabaseClass.Active;
    CustomObject := Mb.ItemById("OBJ_CUSTOM").Edit As IMetabaseCustomObject;
    Writer := CustomObject.CreateWriter;
    Writer.WriteFromFile("C:\From.txt");
    Writer.Save;
    (CustomObject As IMetabaseObject).Save;
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example data from the file C:\From.txt is read and saved in a custom object.
