InterfaceDef ImpliedBy Collection
This is the collection of InterfaceDef objects that have been made available to another interface through implication.
Syntax
Set variable = object.ImpliedBy(index)
The ImpliedBy collection syntax has the following parts.
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| variable | A variable declared as an InterfaceDef object. It receives the specified interface definition. |
| object | An object expression that evaluates to an InterfaceDef object. |
| index | An integer index that identifies which element in the collection is to be addressed. The valid range is from one to the total number of elements in the collection. For more information, see Selecting Items in a Collection. |
Remarks
You can define an implication between two interface definition objects of the form Interface2 is implied by Interface1. For example, if Interface2 is implied by Interface1, the ImpliedBy collection for Interface2 can include the Interface1 object.
The ImpliedBy collection provides a way to define which interfaces are part of an implication relationship. This collection reflects the opposite direction of a relationship that is defined by the Implies collection.
