@FunctionalInterface
public interface IContainer

Represents a model element that can contain child instances.

This interface is implemented by model definitions that may contain flags, fields, or assemblies as part of their structure.

Method Summary

boolean	hasChildren()	Identifies if the container allows child instances or not.

Method Details

hasChildren

boolean hasChildren()

Identifies if the container allows child instances or not.

This can be the case if the container has flags or a complex model with at least a choice, choice group, field, or assembly instance.

Returns:

true if there are flags or a model, or false otherwise
