ITargetObjectCol Interface
See Also
A target object collection is a set of Repository object versions that are attached to a particular source Repository object version through a relationship collection. At most one version of each Repository object is present in any target object collection.
When to Use
Use the ITargetObjectCol interface to manage the Repository objects that belong to a particular relationship collection. With this interface, you can:
-
Get a count of the number of objects in the collection.
-
Enumerate the objects in the collection.
-
Add and remove objects to and from the collection.
-
If the collection is sequenced, place an object in a specific spot in the collection sequence.
-
Retrieve an IRepositoryObject pointer to one of the objects in the collection.
-
Obtain the type of the collection.
-
Retrieve an interface pointer for the collection's source object.
-
Refresh the cached image of the target object collection.
Methods
| IUnknown Method |
Description |
| QueryInterface |
Returns pointers to supported interfaces. |
| AddRef |
Increments the reference count. |
| Release |
Decrements the reference count. |
| IDispatch Method |
Description |
| GetIDsOfNames |
Maps a single member and a set of argument names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers. |
| GetTypeInfo |
Retrieves a type information object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface. |
| GetTypeInfoCount |
Retrieves the number of type information interfaces that an object provides (either 0 or 1). |
| Invoke |
Provides access to properties and methods exposed by an Automation object. |
| IObjectCol Method |
Description |
| Count |
Retrieves a count of the number of objects in the collection. |
| _NewEnum |
Retrieves an enumeration interface pointer for the collection. This interface is a standard Automation enumeration interface. It supports the Clone, Next, Reset, and Skip methods. |
| Item |
Retrieves an IRepositoryObject interface pointer for the specified collection object. |
| Refresh |
Refreshes the cached image of the target object collection. |
| ITargetObjectCol Method |
Description |
| Add |
Adds an object to the collection. |
| get_Source |
Retrieves an interface pointer for the collection's source object. |
| get_Type |
Retrieves the object identifier for the collection's definition object. |
| Insert |
Inserts an object into a specific spot in a sequenced collection. |
| Move |
Moves an object from one spot to another in a sequenced collection. |
| Remove |
Removes an object from the collection. |
Remarks
The ITargetObjectCol interface is very similar to the IRelationshipCol interface. Use the ITargetObjectCol interface when you are primarily interested in working with objects. Use the IRelationshipCol interface when you are primarily interested in working with relationships between objects.
