IMetabaseObjectCreateInfo.KeepEdit

Syntax

KeepEdit: Boolean;

Description

The KeepEdit property determines whether the repository object is in the edit state after creation.

Comments

Available values:

True. After executing the IMetabase.CreateObject method the created object is in the edit state. This allows for adjusting the created object to the necessary interface and to set specific properties.
False. To change specific properties of the created object, open it for edit using the IMetabaseObjectDescriptor.Edit method.

Example

Add a link to the Metabase system assembly.

Sub UserProc;
Var
    MB: IMetabase;
    CrInfo: IMetabaseObjectCreateInfo;
    m: IModule;
Begin
    MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
    CrInfo := MB.CreateCreateInfo;
    CrInfo.ClassId := MetabaseObjectClass.KE_CLASS_MODULE;
    CrInfo.Parent := MB.Root;
    CrInfo.KeepEdit := True;
    m := MB.CreateObject(CrInfo) As IModule;
    m.Text := "Sub Main;" + #13 + #10 +
            "Begin" + #13 + #10 +
            "End Sub Main;";
    (m As IMetabaseObject).Save;
End Sub UserProc;

A new module is created in the repository root after executing this example. To specify the Main procedure in the module the structure remains open for editing after executing the I Metabase.CreateObject method.
