Filtering Properties

Subsets of an instance of ISCModelPropertyCollection can be created by using its CollectProperties method of ISCModelObject. The CollectProperties method creates a new instance of ISCModelPropertyCollection based on the filtering criteria specified in the parameters of the method. By filtering the property collection, you can retrieve properties of a certain class, properties with specified flags set, or properties that do not have specified flags set. The filtering criteria is optional, and any number of combinations of criteria can be used. More information about specific property flags is located in the Enumerations section.

Note: For more information about identifiers used in property classes, see the HTML document ERwin Metamodel Reference, in the Metamodel Reference Bookshelf located in the CA ERwin Data Modeler installation folder.
