72 <p>This interface extends the interface

74 by service <type>SimpleSetAccess</type> to allow modifying the container.
75 </p>
76
77 <p>If available, changes can be observed by registering a listener with interface

82 <member scope="com::sun::star::container">XElementAccess::getElementType()</member>
83 is not an interface type), then values of that type can directly be passed to
84 <member scope="com::sun::star::container">XNameContainer::insertByName()</member>
85 and
86 <member scope="com::sun::star::container">XNameContainer::replaceByName()</member>.
87 </p>
88
89 <p>Otherwise new elements have to be constructed to match the type
90 prescribed by the element template of this set. Such elements can be created
91 using interfaces <type scope="com::sun::star::lang">XSingleServiceFactory</type>
92 and, if supported, <type scope="com::sun::star::lang">XMultiServiceFactory</type>.
93 </p>
94
95 <p>Objects to be inserted must not be contained in any set at the time of
96 insertion. <member scope="com::sun::star::container">XChild::getParent()</member>
97 must return <NULL/>. If a name had been assigned to the object prior to insertion
98 (using <member scope="com::sun::star::container">XNamed::setName()</member>
99 or by other means), this name is ignored and will be lost.
100 After insertion the name of the object is the name that was used as argument
101 to <member scope="com::sun::star::container">XNameContainer::insertByName()</member>

110 remain valid and can be reinserted into a set supporting the same template and
111 even under a different name.
112 </p>
113
114 <p>An implementation need not support insertion of objects that were not
115 obtained in one of the ways described above. If it does, the implementation
116 must reject elements that do not have the correct structure as described
117 by the template.
