Delegate connector dialog box

Delegate connectors

A delegate connector is a declaration that behavior available on a component instance is not actually realized by the component itself, but rather by another instance that has similar capabilities.

The "Delegate connector" dialog box contains four tabs - "Properties", "Notes", "Tagged values" and "Stereotypes". For information on these standard dialog box tabs, please see "Standard dialog box tabs".
