I emailed the developer who did the presentation, and he answered that he implemented it in the following way:
here are the steps to do it :
- Create an ItemType "Component"
- Add properties that you want to use (same as origin ItemType) : item_number, name....
- Add an entry on the TOC
- Add this method on the server event "OnGet" :
- ----
this.setAttribute("type", "Part");
this.setProperty(" classification", "Component");
return this.apply();
---
- That's all !
However, that's what we started with. So I asked about our issues with Lock, Unlock, Structure browser, etc. His reply was:
Yes most of the features to work correctly on an item requires the item to be opened in order to leave this “fake” item context.
So I guess what you have accomplished is the best solution to the problem (I haven't tried it yet myself though).
