Detailed Description

An instance of a PropertyType represents a single property type in the Kanzi property system.

A property type exists throughout the lifetime of an application, including the property types that you create during the runtime of an application.

To work with the existing property types in the Kanzi property system, use the DynamicPropertyType and AbstractPropertyType classes.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

PropertyType	(	Class< TDataType >	clazz,
		TDataType	defaultValue,
		EnumSet< PropertyTypeChangeFlag >	flags,
		boolean	inherited
	)

Construct a new property type without a name.

The name of the property is assigned according to the metaclass' name the property is being added to and the field that is holding the property. If the field's name has a "Property" suffix, it gets trimmed from the name.

Parameters

clazz	Class of the datatype, for example 'Float.class'.
defaultValue	The default value for the property type.
flags	The flags that indicate how changes to the property type value affect the application. See PropertyTypeChangeFlag for valid options.
inherited	Sets whether this property type is inheritable. Inheritance determines whether nodes can inherit from their ancestor nodes the value of this property type.

PropertyType	(	Class< TDataType >	clazz,
		TDataType	defaultValue,
		EnumSet< PropertyTypeChangeFlag >	flags
	)

Construct a new property type without a name.

The name of the property is assigned according to the metaclass' name the property is being added to and the field that is holding the property. If the field's name has a "Property" suffix, it gets trimmed from the name.

The property is not inherited.

Parameters

clazz	Class of the datatype, for example 'Float.class'.
defaultValue	The default value for the property type.
flags	The flags that indicate how changes to the property type value affect the application. See PropertyTypeChangeFlag for valid options.

PropertyType	(	Class< TDataType >	clazz,
		TDataType	defaultValue
	)

Construct a new property type without a name.

The name of the property is assigned according to the metaclass' name the property is being added to and the field that is holding the property. If the field's name has a "Property" suffix, it gets trimmed from the name.

The property has no change flags set. The property is not inherited.

Parameters

clazz	Class of the datatype, for example 'Float.class'.
defaultValue	The default value for the property type.

PropertyType ( Class< TDataType > clazz )

Construct a new property type without a name.

The name of the property is assigned according to the metaclass' name the property is being added to and the field that is holding the property. If the field's name has a "Property" suffix, it gets trimmed from the name.

The property has no change flags set. The property is not inherited.

Parameters

clazz Class of the datatype, for example 'Float.class'.

PropertyType	(	String	name,
		Class< TDataType >	clazz,
		TDataType	defaultValue,
		EnumSet< PropertyTypeChangeFlag >	flags,
		boolean	inherited
	)

Construct a new property type.

Parameters

name	Fully qualified name for the property type.
clazz	Class of the datatype, for example 'Float.class'.
defaultValue	The default value for the property type.
flags	The flags that indicate how changes to the property type value affect the application. See PropertyTypeChangeFlag for valid options.
inherited	Sets whether this property type is inheritable. Inheritance determines whether nodes can inherit from their ancestor nodes the value of this property type.

PropertyType	(	String	name,
		Class< TDataType >	clazz,
		TDataType	defaultValue,
		EnumSet< PropertyTypeChangeFlag >	flags
	)

Construct a new property type.

The property is not inherited.

Parameters

name	Fully qualified name for the property type.
clazz	Class of the datatype, for example 'Float.class'.
defaultValue	The default value for the property type.
flags	The flags that indicate how changes to the property type value affect the application. See PropertyTypeChangeFlag for valid options.

PropertyType	(	String	name,
		Class< TDataType >	clazz,
		TDataType	defaultValue
	)

Construct a new property type.

The property has no change flags set. The property is not inherited.

Parameters

name	Fully qualified name for the property type.
clazz	Class of the datatype, for example 'Float.class'.
defaultValue	The default value for the property type.

PropertyType	(	String	name,
		Class< TDataType >	clazz
	)

Construct a new property type.

The property has no change flags set. The property is not inherited.

Parameters

name	Fully qualified name for the property type.
clazz	Class of the datatype, for example 'Float.class'.

Member Function Documentation

EnumSet<PropertyTypeChangeFlag> getChangeFlags ( )

Gets the change flags for a property type.

Change flags indicate whether a modification of property value invalidates a particular aspect of a node. For example, when you change the com.rightware.kanzi.metadata.NodeMetadata#HeightProperty or com.rightware.kanzi.metadata.NodeMetadata#WidthProperty in a node Kanzi recalculates the layout.

Returns: The change flags for a property type.

PropertyDataType getDataType ( )

Gets the data type of a property type.

The data type of a property type defines the data representation type of each property value. For example, float.

Returns: The data type of a property type.

TDataType getDefaultValue ( )

Gets the default value for a property type.

Returns: The default value.

boolean getIsInherited ( )

Returns whether a property type is inheritable.

Inheritable property types provide values to all descendant nodes.

Returns: If the property type is inheritable, true, otherwise false.

String getName ( )

Gets the fully qualified name of a property type in the form "Class.PropertyType".

Returns: The fully qualified name of a property type.

long getNative ( )

Gets a pointer to the backing C++ instance.

Returns: A pointer to the backing C++ instance. Type: kanzi::AbstractPropertyTypeDescriptor*.
