Create

constructor Create(const ModelName: string; const ExpressionName: string; const DelphiName: string);

Constructor

DefaultSubscribe

procedure DefaultSubscribe(Subscriber: TBoldSubscriber; RequestedEvent: TBoldEvent = breReEvaluate); override; See also Ancestor Method

Since MetaElements are always immutable, and are only destroyed when the system is destroyed, it is not possible to subscribe to meta elements.

GetAsList

procedure GetAsList(ResultList: TBoldIndirectElement); override; See also Ancestor Method

There is currently no subclass of TBoldList that supports meta-elements. Calling GetAsList on a meta element will raise an exception.

GetStringRepresentation

function GetStringRepresentation(Representation: TBoldRepresentation): string; override; See also Ancestor Method

Overrides GetStringRepresentation

IsEqualAs

function IsEqualAs(CompareType: TBoldCompareType; BoldElement: TBoldElement): Boolean; override; See also Ancestor Method

Overrides IsEqualAs
