Detailed Description

Metaclass provides type inspection mechanism for Kanzi classes.

Classes deriving from Object can register information about their type, properties, methods, messages by using Metaclass and accompanying macros. Such information is used by serialization, scripting and to display friendly type information in Kanzi Studio.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Metaclass	(	String	name,
		Class	clazz
	)

Parameters

name	Fully qualified name of the metaclass.
clazz	Java class to associate this metaclass with.
