Context Object Parameters

Parameter NameTypeRead/WriteComments

Sample

The following sample illustrates how to modify the properties of entities when pins or ports are grouped with a connector port or ungrouped.

/* Rule : ELE_ModifyGroupConnector */
/*
ThisObject : #In  RFLVPMLogicalPort
Parameters : #In RuleContext
*/
 
let sMode (String)            /* "Add" or "Remove" modes    */
let ActionList (List)         /* Ends to validate action on */
let ExistingList (List)       /* Existing ends              */
 
let nbActionEnds (Integer)
let nbExistingEnds (Integer)
 
let ActionEnd (RFLVPMLogicalInstance)
let ExistingEnd (RFLVPMLogicalInstance)
 
let nbPort (Integer)
let description=""
 
set sMode = Parameters->GetAttributeString("Mode")
set ActionList = Parameters->GetAttributeObject("ActionList")
set ExistingList = Parameters->GetAttributeObject("ExistingList")
 
 
nbActionEnds = ActionList->Size()
nbExistingEnds = ExistingList->Size()
 
if (sMode == "Add")
{
	set nbPort = nbExistingEnds  + nbActionEnds 

	description = "Nb of pin = " + ToString(nbPort)
	ThisObject->SetAttributeString("V_description", description)
}
 
if (sMode == "Remove")
{
	Set nbPort = nbExistingEnds - nbActionEnds
	description = "nb of pin = " + ToString(nbPort)
	ThisObject->SetAttributeString("V_description", description)
}
