:: com :: sun :: star :: configuration ::
service PropertyHierarchy
Description provides access to and information about properties and subproperties of an implementation. Properties in a property set may be full-fledged objects that have properties themselves (and so on recursively), thereby forming a hierarchy of properties. This service describes such a hierarchy, and allows direct access even to subproperties. See also ::com::sun::star::beans::XProperty Properties of an implementation that are objects themselves will often implement ::com::sun::star::beans::XProperty to allow direct access to information about the object. If such objects have properties of their own, they should fully implement PropertyHierarchy again.

Exported Interfaces
::com::sun::star::beans::XPropertySet | Description provides access to and information about the immediate properties of an implementation.
::com::sun::star::beans::XMultiPropertySet | Description provides access to and information about the immediate properties of an implementation. This interface allows retrieving or setting multiple properties at once. Accesses are guaranteed to occur as single atomic operations even if multiple threads are accessing the object simultaneously.
::com::sun::star::beans::XHierarchicalPropertySet | Description provides access to and information about the whole hierarchy of properties and subproperties of an implementation.
::com::sun::star::beans::XMultiHierarchicalPropertySet | Description provides access to and information about the whole hierarchy of properties and subproperties of an implementation. This interface allows retrieving or setting multiple properties at once. Accesses are guaranteed to occur as single atomic operations even if multiple threads are accessing the object simultaneously.
