[edit] Examples

In the following example, the onCreate function is used to initialize people, which is a collection of Person. Two Person objects are added to people. With the first function call statement selected in the Design Editor, the parameters for the Collection, add function can be set in the Property Editor. In this case, since people is a collection of Person, when Object is selected in the parameter drop down box, the Builder creates a new instance of Person.

When the ellipsis button next to Object is clicked, the following dialog box is displayed. Person has two fields, firstName and lastName. The dialog box allows these two fields for this new Person to be initialized.
