The ClassDef object helps you create information models by adding interfaces to a class. To insert a new class definition into an information model, use the ReposTypeLib object.
To complete a class definition, once you have added all of the interfaces, commit the transaction that brackets your class definition modifications.
A ClassDef object is also a RepositoryObject object. In addition to the members described here, ClassDef objects also provide the members that are defined for repository objects.
Use the ClassDef object to:
| Property | Description |
| ClassID | The global identifier of the class. |
| Method | Description |
| AddInterface | Adds an existing interface to the class definition. |
| CreateInterfaceDef | Creates a new interface and adds it to the class definition. |
| ObjectInstances | Materializes an object collection containing all of the objects in the repository that conform to this class. |
| Collection | Description |
