Operating on Attribute Grid View


In addition to creating new attributes in a class, described in the previous section Adding Attributes to Classes, there are other useful class information and operations available in the Attribute Grid View.

The header of the Attribute Grid View contains the following information about the class:

Deleting Attributes

Only attributes that are local to the class, not inherited from the ancestor classes, can be deleted. To delete an attribute, perform the following:
