Re: [ve-dev] Fw: Softcoding VCE variable scoping of controls/components/

[Rich Kulp <richkulp@xxxxxxxxxx>]

And I just had a thought for one more
level of flexibility.

If the object has an Annotation attached
(which is where we store the fieldname), and there is a keyed value where
the key is "PRESET_SCOPE" and the value is one of the enum values,
that would take priority over all.

This would allow for special customized
adds, such as a complete prototype Composite with children and settings
in the palette where the children can have a different scoping, such as
all of the children could be LOCAL or PROPERTY.

Prototypes are setup in XMI files in
the palette and allow a complicated already initialized object to be dropped.
We use it to drop a JScrollPane with a JTable inside of it.

This setting is ephemeral in that codegen
wouldn't produce it nor needs, but it is of use during the initial drop.

Thanks,
Rich
