Methods

CanMerge(ProtoElementBase, ElementGroupPrototype)	Returns a value indicating whether the source element represented by the specified root ProtoElement can be added to this element.
ChooseMergeTarget(ElementGroup)	Gets the ModelElement to be used as the target for the ElementGroup merge process. This is called by the merge process when this element is the target of the merge. This provides this element with the opportunity to change the target to something other than itself.
ChooseMergeTarget(ElementGroupPrototype)	Gets the ModelElement to be used as the target for the ElementGroupPrototype merge process. This is called by the merge process when this element is the target of the merge. This provides this element with the opportunity to change the target to something other than itself.
MergeConfigure(ElementGroup)	Called by the Merge process to allow this model element to configure itself immediately after the Merge process has related it to the target element.
MergeDisconnect(ModelElement)	Performs operation opposite to MergeRelate - i.e. disconnects a given element from the current one (removes links created by MergeRelate).
MergeRelate(ModelElement, ElementGroup)	Called by the Merge process to create a relationship between this target element and the specified source element. Typically, a parent-child relationship is established between the target element (the parent) and the source element (the child), but any relationship can be established.
