Folks,
Does anyone know of any standard patterns for displaying/updating aspects within WDK-based application? I'm thinking of the properties component, mainly, but advice on other components would also be welcome...
Cheers,
John
Hi John,
I tried to do the same thing about a year ago. What I determined is that aspects are still really only intended for internal use as flexible attributes. While you can create aspect attributes and attach them via the callback methods specified in the dfc development guide, Composer offers no means for aspect attribute display. Additionally the attach and detach can get a little fishy if you want say, aspects to be attached if another attribute is true and detached if it's false. What I had to do, was customize import, create new, properties and checkin to handle the display of my aspect attributes and attach/detach.
Good luck,
Erin
Hi Erin,
Thanks for this - I was afraid that we'd need a customization for this. Oh well, yet another reason why pure configuration is never enough...
