The IInteractionUse type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	ApplicableStereotypes	The set of stereotypes that could be applied to this element. (Inherited from IElement.)
	AppliedStereotypes	Each IStereotypeInstance denotes that a stereotype has been applied to this element. (Inherited from IElement.)
	ClientDependencies	Gets the Dependency relationships for which this element is the Client. (Inherited from INamedElement.)
	CoveredLifelines	For some types of fragment, gets the lifelines on which the fragment is situated. (Inherited from IInteractionFragment.)
	Description	The description of this element. (Inherited from IElement.)
	EnclosingInteraction	Gets the Interaction that contains this Interaction Fragment. (Inherited from IInteractionFragment.)
	EnclosingOperand	Gets the Interaction Operand that contains a nested Combined Fragment. Applies to Combined Fragments. (Inherited from IInteractionFragment.)
	HasReference	True if the Interaction has a reference to another Interaction. False if the user has not yet defined the detail of this part of the sequence.
	Name	The name of this element within the Namespace that contains it. In this Namespace, there should be no other element that has this Name. (Inherited from INamedElement.)
	Namespace	Gets the Namespace in which this element is defined. May be null. (Inherited from INamedElement.)
	OwnedComments	Gets Comments contained in this element (not comments linked to it). (Inherited from IElement.)
	OwnedElements	Gets Elements owned by this element. Every element has one owner, except the root IModel. (Inherited from IElement.)
	Owner	Gets the Element that owns this element. Every element except the root IModel has one owner. (Inherited from IElement.)
	QualifiedName	Gets the name of this element, prefixed with the Qualified Name of the Namespace that contains it. Empty if the Name is empty or if the Qualified Name of the Namespace is empty. (Inherited from INamedElement.)
	ReferredToFile	The file in which the RefersTo Interaction (sequence diagram) is defined.
	RefersTo	The Interaction invoked by this Interaction Use.
	Visibility	Defines where the element can be referenced. Public = visible anywhere; private = visible only in the owning Namespace; protected = visible to elements that have a generalization relationship to the owning Namespace; package = visible only in the Package owning the Namespace, if there is one. Default = public. (Inherited from INamedElement.)
	VisibleAppliedStereotypes	(Inherited from IElement.)

Extension Methods

	Name	Description
	AddReference	Links a string to an element, usually where the string is a reference such as a URI, modelbus reference, or work item ID. Use the name to indicate the type of reference. Returns an IReference object that represents the link. (Defined by UmlExtensions.)
	ApplyStereotype	Applies the stereotype to element. Creates an IStereotypeInstance that represents the extension of the model element by the stereotype. (Defined by ProfileStereotypeExtensions.)
	Delete	Deletes this element and any relationships, owned elements, and shapes. (Defined by UmlExtensions.)
	DeleteAllReference	Remove all the references of a given tag. (Defined by UmlExtensions.)
	GetDependencyClients	Return a collection of elements that are dependent on this. (Defined by NamedElementExtensions.)
	GetDependencySuppliers	Return a collection of elements on which this is dependent. (Defined by NamedElementExtensions.)
	GetId	Gets a GUID that identifies this element. (Defined by UmlExtensions.)
	GetModelStore	Gets the IModelStore that contains this element. (Defined by UmlExtensions.)
	GetReferences	Get the IReferences of a given tag that are associated with this element. (Defined by UmlExtensions.)
	GetRelatedElements<T>	Gets elements related to this element by relationships of the specified type. (Defined by UmlExtensions.)
	GetRelatedLinks<T>	Gets relationships of a specified type from or to this element. (Defined by UmlExtensions.)
	Shapes	All the shapes that display the model element on any open diagram, or on a specified open diagram. (Defined by PresentationHelpers.)
