Detailed Description

MessageArguments is the base class for arguments passed in messages.

An instance of MessageArguments together with an instance of MessageType forms a Kanzi message. In Kanzi when you dispatch a message, you dispatch a message of certain type and arguments.

You can derive your own custom message arguments type from this class or an existing derivation of this class, where you can define the property types associated to your message and any convenience functions like getters and setters. Make sure to expose proper constructors from your class, see constructors of this class for more information.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ MessageArguments() [1/2]

Constructs a new MessageArguments object.

When deriving a custom message arguments class, you will typically call this constructor from your main constructor.

◆ MessageArguments() [2/2]

MessageArguments ( long  nativeObject)
protected

Wraps a native message argument.

This constructor is used by Kanzi when delivering a message to a handler in Java.

When deriving a custom message arguments class, you will need to expose a constructor of matching signature, where you must simply forward the received argument to this constructor.

Parameters
nativeObjectReference to native message argument.

Member Function Documentation

◆ getArgument()

TDataType getArgument ( PropertyType< TDataType >  propertyType)

Returns the value of an argument.

Parameters
propertyTypeThe PropertyType argument whose value to fetch.
<TDataType>Data type of the property, optional.
Returns
The value of the argument. If the argument is not present in this message arguments instance, returns the default value of the PropertyType.

◆ getOptionalArgument()

TDataType getOptionalArgument ( PropertyType< TDataType >  propertyType)

Returns the value of an argument, but does not use the default value if there are no inputs to the argument value.

Parameters
propertyTypeThe PropertyType argument whose value to fetch.
<TDataType>Data type of the property, optional.
Returns
The value of the argument. If the argument is not present in this message arguments instance, returns null.

◆ getSource()

TNodeType getSource ( )

Returns the source node for a message.

Parameters
<TNodeType>The expected type of the node, optional.
Returns
The source node where the message was dispatched.

◆ isHandled()

boolean isHandled ( )

Returns whether the message is handled.

Returns
If the message is handled, true, otherwise false.

◆ setArgument() [1/2]

void setArgument ( PropertyType< TDataType >  propertyType,
TDataType  value 
)

Sets the value of an argument.

Parameters
propertyTypeThe PropertyType argument whose value to set.
valueThe value to set for the argument.
<TDataType>Data type of the property, optional.

◆ setArgument() [2/2]

void setArgument ( PropertyType< Integer >  propertyType,
EnumType  value 
)

Sets the value of an integer argument using a constant from an enumeration.

Parameters
propertyTypeThe property type identifying the property to set.
valueThe enumeration constant to get the integer value from.

MessageArguments::setArgument(PropertyType, Object)

◆ setHandled()

void setHandled ( boolean  handled)

Sets the handling status for a message.

Parameters
handledThe new handling status.
