Changing par file link of an iView

Question

Hi All,
I created an iview(MyiView) based on a par file,say SamplePar1
Now I want to use the same iview(MyiView) to link to other par file say SamplePar2.
i.e.,I want the output of second par file to be
shown in the iview(MyiView) instead of first par file.
I saw a property of an iview CodeLink,which is pointing
to the par file.But it is uneditable.How can I change
this property value.so that it points to another par
file.
Any help,
Thanks in Advance

Hi Santosh,
you cannot, at least not via UI. An iView is to be seen as an instance of a component (with a certain parameter set). So if you create an iView, it's somewhat analogous to <i>SamplePar1ComponentAiView MyiView = new SamplePar1ComponentAiView(myParameters)</i>. Now you want MyiView to be of type SamplePar2ComponentBiView. And this shall not be possible.
Maybe you can do it programatically via direct PCD access. But what's the reason for this? Wouldn't it be easier to create a new iView built on a component of SamplePar2?!
If you want at runtime redirect to another component, you can achieve this by redirecting from SamplePar1ComponentA to SamplePar2ComponentB.
Hope it helps
