InGroups, array with two columns: object ID and instance ID. Setting this property doesn't force graphical presentation, i.e. if the elements are not overlapping on a diagram so that group properties would be valid, SetProperty will set the relation but it will be cleared by model validation. However, if there are group relations that are set by grouping, those values are set as expected and will not be cleared by model validation.

Setting this property doesn't force graphical presentation, i.e. if the elements are not overlapping on a diagram so that group properties would be valid, SetProperty will set the relation but it will be cleared by model validation. However, if there are group relations that are set by grouping, those values are set as expected and will not be cleared by model validation.

"Plain" must be used without other enumerations and it means no font style. "Bold" | "italic" | "underline" can be listed in any combination e.g. "bold,italic". Order of enumerations is free, e.g. "italic,bold" is also supported.

ZOrder, int. The z-order of the instance. Value 0 or a smaller value sets the instance to bottommost. A value equal to or greater than the number of items in the diagram moves the instance to topmost. A value in between moves the instance to selected depth-position.

Font, a one dimensional array:

•font name, string. The name of the font. Empty value ("") means that the font name is not changed, and in case of a newly created element, the default font of the element type is used.

•font size, int. Size of the font in points.Empty value ("") means that the font size is not changed, and with newly created element, the default font size of the element type is used.

•font style, a comma-separated list of enumerated values of font style: "" | "plain"  | "bold" | "italic" | "underline". Empty string ("") means that the font style is not set/changed. "Plain" must be used without other enumerations and it means no font style. "Bold" | "italic" | "underline" can be listed in any combination e.g. "bold,italic". Order of enumerations is free, e.g. "italic,bold" is also supported.

•font color, int. Empty value ("") means that the font color is not changed.

•font alignment, a comma-separated list of enumerated value pairs: "top" | "middle" | "bottom" and "left" | "center" | "right", e.g. "bottom,left". Empty string ("") means that font aligment is not set/changed.

 

+ all custom attribute types defined for each type. To refer to member attributes in attribute sets or enumerations, use the extended naming with the following syntax: <attribute set / enumeration>, for example EventType.Start

The value for an External model type custom attribute pointing to a server model should be a string following this syntax: 8000:<ModelId>:<ProcessLevelId>:<Path>:<ProcessLevelPath (can be left empty)>/ (for example: 8000:1265506417:0:\\localhost\Demo Models\2:/). To have the External model type custom attribute point to a file, use the path to the file, e.g. C:\Path\To\Some\File.foo.

 

Value: Variant. Value to be set to the attribute. Note that if ExtendedPropertyName refers to an enumerated custom attribute, a valid enumerated string must be passed as the Value parameter.

 

When setting array values (usually relations to other objects), do not set the whole array at once. Check which values must be added and removed from the original values and use the Add/Remove methods to set the values. However, some array values must be set as whole arrays (the order of the values is important). These include:

•EntryRules and ExitRules in Process Steps and Stores

•ProcessingTimes and InputFrequencies in Proces Steps and Flows
