Hi,
Metanool offers you a way to define new properties and edit those. Thus, it
works at the FM3 level (which is a meta-model of FAMIX).
You seem to want to work directly at FAMIX level. This means that you just
have an object, which happens to be a FAMIXClass instance, and want to
describe it with Magritte.
For example, for adding a Name property, you can add this method:
FAMIXClass>>descriptionName
<magritteDescription>
^ MAStringDescription new
accessor: #name;
label: 'Name';
yourself
And you get:
[image: Inline image 1]
[image: Inline image 2]
What would you expect to get for declaredType?
Cheers,
Doru

Hi,
I would like to build custom magritte view for a FAMIX model, however
it seems that Fame/Metanool are somehow interfering with it..
Imagine a simple model (a class with an attribute):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
cls := FAMIXClass new name: 'Something'.
(attr := FAMIXAttribute new)
name: 'myAttribute';
declaredType: (FAMIXClass new name: 'OtherThing').
cls addAttribute: attr.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
now I can open the magritte description
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
attr mooseDescription asMagritteDescription asMagritteMorph openInWindow.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
However this is a meta description, which I don't want...
So second option was to build it manually; I extract descriptions that
I am interested in....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
container := MAContainer new addAll: ({
attr mooseDescription at: 'name'.
attr mooseDescription at: 'declaredType'.
} collect: #asMagritteDescription).
(container asMorphOn: attr) openInWindow.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
However the problem with this is, that the declaredType is presented
as TextField, which is not very useful.
So I'm kind of lost...
basically what I want to do is to have a MAContainer that contains
both the Attribute's name and #declaredType's name.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Peter
