*     {
*        myIndex = value;
*     }
*
*     const int& index() const
*     {
*        return myIndex;
*     }
*
*     int& index()
*     {
*        return myIndex;
*     }

#define DtDEC_ATTRIBUTE_OVERLOAD	(		Type,
			Name,
			name,
			Attribute
	)

*  public:
*     void setElement( const int& value )
*     {
*        myIndex = value;
*     }

*     {
*        return myIndex;
