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 Characteristics property page of the class.
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:
1. Click the Link button
2. Create the link from the class to the parameterized class.
