Detailed Description

To Source bindings are one-way bindings that have an extra source to which to write the result value.

To Source binding is the opposite of a regular one-way binding. To Source binding updates the source property whenever the target property changes.

The extra binding source, called push source, is used only for writing. To Source bindings have a binding target just like regular one-way bindings, but are usually set to Node or RenderPass objects with a DummyBindingTargetRuntime, so that they only write values to the push source.

The push source is usually a regular ObjectPropertyBindingSource. It does not install a value source or a property modifier, but instead writes the property value using setProperty().

Creating a ToSourceBinding

To create a ToSourceBinding, create an extra binding source first:

// Create a binding source for the regular source to read from.
// Create another binding source to serve as the push target.

Then create a ToSourceBinding using the push source created:

// Create a To Source binding using both the read source and the push source.
ToSourceBindingSharedPtr binding = ToSourceBinding::create(kanzi::move(source), kanzi::move(pushSource));

To add a ToSourceBinding to a Node or RenderPass, use a DummyBindingTargetRuntime:

// Set the binding to the root node.
// It reads values from its first child and writes them to the other child.
root->setBinding(binding);
// Because target property is not provided, a dummy binding target is created.

You can specify a target property when calling setBinding for the ToSourceBinding. In this case, both values are written when the binding is executed.

Unlike with regular one-way bindings, which require the binding source and target to be connected to be considered connected, ToSourceBinding also requires the push source to be connected. Trying to update the binding manually when both sources or the target are not connected does nothing. However, DummyBindingTargetRuntime is considered always connected.
