EditWithComps [component manager]

Edit an existing component.

UI Access Not available
Parameters
Name Type Description
<ComponentName> String Composite name of the component being edited
<ComponentPropertiesArray> Array Array of component properties

<NAME>

 String New simple name for the component

<ModTime>

 Integer

An integer that corresponds to the number of seconds that have elapsed since 00:00 hours, Jan 1, 1970 UTC from the system clock.

<Library>

 String Library name

<LibLocation>

 String Project location

<PinDefInfo>

 Array Optional, it defines pin location, type, and color. Multiple <PinDefInfo> parameters can be included. See below for more information.

<GraphicsDataInfo>

 Array

Optional; it defines graphics using one or more of the following:

<RectInfo>,

<CircleInfo>,

<ArcInfo>,

<LineInfo>,

<PolygonInfo>,

<TextInfo>,

<ImageInfo>

See below for more details.

<PropDisplayMapInfo>

 Array Optional, it defines display properties. See below for more information.

<ListOfComponentNames>

 Array

The list may be empty. When not empty, each string that is listed is a component that references the symbol to be edited. Prior to editing, a clone of the component is made, and the components that are listed are modified so that they now refer to the clone.
Return Value

Composite name of the component in the form of a string. If the name requested conflicts with the name of an existing component, the requested name is altered to be unique, and the name returned reflects that change.
