      default Atom getClassReferenceAtom(String id)
      Gets the ClassReference atom name.
      Specified by:

      Parameters:
      id - ID for the class reference if several exist, null for default.
      Returns:
      The class reference atom name for the ID.

    • getClassReference

      default ClassReference getClassReference(String id, boolean doCreateIfNotPresent)
      Gets or creates the ClassReference in the property container.
      Specified by:
      getClassReference in interface IClassReferenceOwner
      Parameters:
      id - ID for the class reference if several exist, null for default.
      doCreateIfNotPresent - Flag to create the property (this flag can only be true in Designer)!
      Returns:
      The resolved class reference instance, null if the ClassReference doesn't exist if the create flag is false. If flag is true, an orphan unresolved EditorClassReference instance (ONLY for the Designer).
