ClassDef Object

The ClassDef object helps you create tool information models, by adding interfaces to a class. To insert a new class definition into a tool information model, use the ReposTypeLib object.

To complete a class definition, once you have added all of the interfaces, commit the transaction that brackets your class definition modifications.

A ClassDef object is also a RepositoryObject. In addition to the members described here, ClassDef objects also provide the members that are defined for Repository objects.

When to Use

Use the ClassDef object to:

Add a new or existing interface to a class definition.
Retrieve the global identifier for the class.
Access the collection of interfaces that are part of a class definition.
