70 by service <type>SimpleSetAccess</type> to allow modifying the container.
71 </p>
72
73 <p>If available, changes can be observed by registering a listener with interface

80 <member scope="com::sun::star::container">XNameContainer::insertByName()</member>
81 and

85 <p>Otherwise new elements have to be constructed to match the type
86 prescribed by the element template of this set. Such elements can be created
87 using interfaces <type scope="com::sun::star::lang">XSingleServiceFactory</type>
88 and, if supported, <type scope="com::sun::star::lang">XMultiServiceFactory</type>.
89 </p>

91 <p>Objects to be inserted must not be contained in any set at the time of
92 insertion. <member scope="com::sun::star::container">XChild::getParent()</member>
93 must return <NULL/>. If a name had been assigned to the object prior to insertion
94 (using <member scope="com::sun::star::container">XNamed::setName()</member>
95 or by other means), this name is ignored and will be lost.
96 After insertion the name of the object is the name that was used as argument
97 to <member scope="com::sun::star::container">XNameContainer::insertByName()</member>

106 remain valid and can be reinserted into a set supporting the same template and
107 even under a different name.
108 </p>
109
110 <p>An implementation need not support insertion of objects that were not
111 obtained in one of the ways described above. If it does, the implementation
112 must reject elements that do not have the correct structure as described
113 by the template.
