SetNameOfProperty

Sets or updates the name of the property, it returns 0 on success.

Error return codes:
    0 successful
    1 argument rdfProperty is incorrect (not a proper handle to an active property)
    2 argument name is incorrect (nullptr or zero length name)
    3 the name of rdfProperty is locked
    4 name is already used by another class
    5 name is already used by a property
    6 name is already used by an instance
    7 undefined error

Property rdfProperty

Size: 64 bit / 8 byte (value)
This attribute represents a handle to the property, this can be either a datatype property (attribute), an object property (relation) or non-defined property. The handle will be static during the life-time of the model, when the model (or part of it) is saved and opened again, the handle will most probably be different.

Property name

Size: 64 bit / 8 byte (reference)
This attribute represents the name of the property; either a datatype property or a relation (given as char array / ASCII). The name is given by the host and the attribute is not changed.

Example (based on pure API calls)

Here you can find code snippits that show how the API call SetNameOfProperty can be used.

using RDF;      //  include at least engine.cs within your solution
