Multiple NameMap Configurations
I have been looking at NameMap configurations and I am trying to understand how to keep unique namemap configurations. I have created a simple NotePad namemap with three configurations. If I change to another configuration and change the index value used to ID an object all of the configurations are changed.
What am I doing wrong?
** Please disregaurd this question I just figured it out below **
There was nothing wrong. The configurations are stored in the namemap repository in multiple entries. You can't add something to one map configuration without adding it to the others. If you change an identification property like changing an index on a control from 1 to 5 in one of the configurations you will see that change unique to the configuration you changed it in. I was not looking at things correctly. It's working fine.
Ugly details for those who want to see it 'under the hood' Note the 3 storages entries and the Index value of 5 verses 1 for the 1st line of 3 for Index.
