AddChild

The AddChild method is used to add subsidiary property sets to a property set, so as to form hierarchical (tree-structured) data structures.

Syntax

oPropSet.AddChild(childPropSet as PropertySet)

Parameter
Description
childObject
A property set to be made subsidiary to the property set indicated by oPropSet

Returns

An integer indicating the index of the child property set.

Usage

Property sets can be used to create tree-structured data structures. Any number of arbitrarily structured child property sets can be added to a property set. You may use child property sets to structure a property set in a manner similar to the data model. For example, the parent property set might be Account, with child property sets for opportunities, contacts, activities, and so on. At the same time, you could construct an independent property set called Opportunity, to which accounts, contacts, and activities might be children.

Used With

Browser Script, Server Script, Web Client Automation Server, Mobile/Dedicated Web Client Automation Server, COM Data Control, COM Data Server, Java Data Bean

Example

The following fragment of eScript code shows how child property sets may be added to a parent property set.

   var Account = TheApplication().NewPropertySet();
   var Opportunity = TheApplication().NewPropertySet();
   var Contact = TheApplication().NewPropertySet();
   var Activity = TheApplication().NewPropertySet();

   Account.AddChild(Opportunity);
   Account.AddChild(Contact);
   Account.AddChild(Activity);
