To import CPROPERTIES.H packages in OMNET++ we have an exciting and exclusive article read it and get benefits if you face any other doubts or issues the reach us for best guidance. The cProperties header is all about managing and accessing properties linked to simulation modules and their parts. It helps define and handle things like configuration settings, attributes, or any other metadata tied to modules or objects in a simulation. With cProperties, you can set up and manage different properties related to simulation objects, which can cover everything from configuration info to custom attributes and other essential metadata. This flexibility lets you tweak and adjust configurations based on what the simulation requires or the conditions at play.

2.OMNET++ Installation:

2.OMNeT++ Building Process:
Next, we need to build the Sockets folder to make Sockets Example to work in the OMNET++ 6.0.2 IDE. Right Click the Sockets folder and Click the Build Project Option to build the Sockets Folder.
Screenshot:
Here, we shown the Sockets Building Process.

Here We successfully built and imported the Sockets Example in the OMNET++ IDE.
3.Importing cProperties.h:
Here we imported the cProperties.h header file in this example program by clicking the Cloud.cc, you can see the header imported.
Screenshot:
So here we need to copy this code and paste in the existing codes of Sockets Example for cProperties header.
Code for Cloud.cc:
#include <omnetpp.h>
#include “NetPkt_m.h”
#include “omnetpp/cproperties.h”
using namespace omnetpp;
class Cloud : public cSimpleModule
{
private:
simtime_t propDelay;
cProperties properties;
protected:
virtual void initialize() override;
virtual void handleMessage(cMessage *msg) override;
};
Define_Module(Cloud);
void Cloud::initialize()
{
propDelay = (double)par(“propDelay”);
EV << “Initialized propagation delay to ” << propDelay << ” seconds.” << endl;
}
void Cloud::handleMessage(cMessage *msg)
{
EV << “Received a message of type: ” << msg->getClassName() << endl;
NetPkt *pkt = check_and_cast<NetPkt *>(msg);
int dest = pkt->getDestAddress();
EV << “Relaying packet to addr=” << dest << ” after a delay of ” << propDelay << ” seconds.” << endl;
sendDelayed(pkt, propDelay, “g$o”, dest);
cProperty *prop = new cProperty(“cloud”, “”);
properties.add(prop);
EV << “Added a property with name: ” << prop->getName() << endl;
EV << “Total properties in Cloud module: ” << properties.getNumProperties() << endl;
for (int i = 0; i < properties.getNumProperties(); ++i) {
cProperty *p = properties.get(i);
EV << “Property ” << i + 1 << ” Name: ” << p->getName() << endl;
const char *index = nullptr;
const char *value = p->getValue(index);
}
}
Screenshot:
Press Control key and click the cProperties.h to open the header file.
Screenshot:
Here we will show the cProperties.h header file to show the highlighted line imported from the cProperties.h in the example code.

4.Executing the Example Program Using cProperties header file:
Then we need to run the Example program Using cProperties header file to view output of the program. Firstly, we need to locate to the “/Sockets/” to find the example program in the Sockets Folder.
Screenshot:
Next click the “omnetpp.ini” file and Configuration of the Sockets Program.
Screenshot:
Next, Right Click the omnetpp.ini file, click the Run As and then Click the OMNeT++ Simulation.
Screenshot:
If you got any prompt, then Click the OK button to build and Simulate the Example program.
Screenshot:
Click the Any Configuration in the Omnet++ Ide to select the Configuration for the Example Program Simulation.
Screenshot:
Click the Run Button in the Omnet++ Ide to simulate the Example Program.

Simulation Completed Successfully by the Sockets Example Using cProperties header.
