Each published object is described in the same way in its topic in the 'Object attributes and associations (item properties and links)' section of the Help.

The object is referred to by its object type or class name.

If the object is a collection object you can use the functions described in Looping through Collection Objects.

If you are using Visual Basic version 5.0 or the Application Edition, you can apply the "For Each Item in Collection" construct instead of these functions.

In the description of an object, the following information is given for each exposed attribute:

You can control access to an object using the access control facilities in Modeler. See the Modeler Help for more information.

Multi-user locking may reduce read/write access to read only.

In the description of an object, the following information is given for each exposed association:

A collection object has a multiplicity of zero or more (0+) or one or more (1+). You use the Items function and can loop through the collection to access each object.

You can use the Property and PropertyGet functions on single associations, with multiplicities of only 1 (1) or zero or one (0-1). If the object does not exist an empty string is returned.

The Item function can return an empty object if the multiplicity can be zero. You can test for this condition by comparing the object to Nothing.

Explains usage of the index argument.

All objects have the same common associations. See Common Associations for more information.
