Detailed Description

An instance of a MessageType represents a single message type in the Kanzi message system.

A message type exists throughout the lifetime of an application.

To work with the existing message types, use AbstractMessageType.

Parameters

<MessageArgumentsType>

Associated message arguments class, which holds the property type definitions for the arguments of this message type. If you do not have a message arguments class, you can use the base class MessageArguments.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

MessageType() [1/2]
