Specifying Parameterized Classes
A parameterized class enables definition of characteristics and a behavior that varies as a function of the value of certain parameters. For example, a parameterized class can be used to manage object lists. In this case the parameter will be the object type to be managed in the form of a list. This type of class is implemented in particular in C++ language.
To specify a parameterized class:
1. Open the Properties dialog box of the class and select the Characteristics tab.
2. You can enter the parameters and specify their type if necessary.
The class parameters are displayed at top right.
To link a class to a parameterized class:
*Click the button.
*Create the link from the class to the parameterized class.
