ComponentPatternName is used to qualify the class of the component.

Member of Object (PRIM_OBJT)

Data Type - String

Details

ComponentPatternName is the name of the component's class or the class of which it is a member.
 
For classes defined in LANSA as a member of another class, otherwise known as a Pattern e.g. PRIM_VS.Style, the ComponentPatternName is "PRIM_VS".
 
Unless the application requires complex generic programming, ComponentPatternName is unlikely to be required for most development purposes.

Example

This simple form demonstrates the difference between ComponentPatternName, ComponentClassName and ComponentTypeName
