Detailed Description

Access nodes and resources in a Kanzi Studio project.

For example, use this class to get a node, add, remove, or set its properties, find out about its relations to other nodes, get notifications about changes to that node, and to delete the node.

Member Function Documentation

void AddProperty ( string propertyName )

Adds a property to an item.

When you add a property to a node, the initial value of the property is the default value set for that property. Use the Set function to set the value of a property.

Parameters

propertyName The name of the property to add.

See also: AddProperty(Property), RemoveProperty(string), RemoveProperty(Property)

Examples

To add a property to a node and set the value of the property:

        // To add a property to a node, first get or create that node, then use the AddProperty function
        // to add the property. Use the Set function to set the value of a property. 
        public void Execute(PluginCommandParameter parameter)
        {
            // Get the node to which you want to add a property.
            var rootPage = studio.ActiveProject.GetProjectItem("Screens/Screen/RootPage");
            // Add the Layout Width property to the RootPage node you got in the previous line.
            rootPage.AddProperty("Node.Width");
            // Set the value of the Layout Width property to 1280.
            rootPage.Set("Node.Width", 1280);
        }

To add a property to a node and set the value of the property to a resource:

        // To add a property to a node, first get or create that node, then use the AddProperty function 
        // to add the property. Use the Set function to set the value of a property. 
        public void Execute(PluginCommandParameter parameter)

void RegisterThumbnailUser	(	object	user,
		uint	width,
		uint	height,
		bool	showChildren,
		bool	showFullScreen,
		Node	contextNode
	)

Registers a user for the thumbnail images for a project item.

Registering allows you to retrieve thumbnail images in the background before Kanzi sets off the ThumbnailChanged event. After registering, the calls to the GetThumbnail retrieve the cached thumbnail image faster than if you do not register. You must deregister using the DeregisterThumbnailUser function when you are not using the thumbnail images anymore.

Parameters

user	The user.
width	The width of the thumbnail image.
height	The height of the thumbnail image.
showChildren	If set to `true` [show children].
showFullScreen	If set to `true` [show full screen].
contextNode	The context node for resources, such as states, that require a node to display themselves in.

            rootPage.RemoveProperty(Properties.Node2DBackgroundBrush);
        }

void UpdateValidity ( )

Recalculates the validity the item.

This can be called if there has happened an external change that affects the validity but has not triggered change in the item itself. This situation can arise e.g. when implementing EditTimeComponentPlugin that returns problem descriptions based on the state of other nodes than the current one.

            var rootPage = studio.ActiveProject.GetProjectItem("Screens/Screen/RootPage").Children;
            // Print the name of each child node of the RootPage node to the Kanzi Studio Log window.
            foreach (var node in rootPage)
            {
                studio.Log(node.Name);
            }
        }

To get all resources from a library:

        public void Execute(PluginCommandParameter parameter)
        {
            // Get all images from the Images directory.
            var imagesDirectory = studio.ActiveProject.ImageDirectory.Children;
            // Print the name of all images in the Images directory to the Kanzi Studio Log window.
            foreach (var resource in imagesDirectory)
            {
                studio.Log(resource.Name);
            }
        }

string KzbUrl

get

Gets the kzb URL of a project item.

The kzb URL gives you the exact location of a project item. For example, you can use the kzb URL to access a node or a resource in a JavaScript script in your Kanzi application.

Examples

To get the kzb URL of a node:

        public void Execute(PluginCommandParameter parameter)
        {
            // Get the node whose type you want to get.
            var rootNode = studio.ActiveProject.GetProjectItem("Screens/Screen/RootPage");
            // Print the .kzb URL of the node to the Kanzi Studio Log window.
            studio.Log(rootNode.KzbUrl);
        }

To get the kzb URL of a resource:

        public void Execute(PluginCommandParameter parameter)
        {
            // Get the resource whose type you want to get.
            var texturesLibrary = studio.ActiveProject.TextureLibrary;
            var defaultTexture = texturesLibrary.GetItemByName("Default Texture");
            // Print the .kzb URL of the resource to the Kanzi Studio Log window.
            studio.Log(defaultTexture.KzbUrl);
        }

string Name

getset

Gets or sets the name of a project item.

This is the same value as the value of the Name property. The name must be unique among children of the same parent.

Examples

To get the name of a node:

        public void Execute(PluginCommandParameter parameter)
        {
            // Get the node whose name you want to get.
            var rootNode = studio.ActiveProject.GetProjectItem("Screens/Screen/RootPage");
            // Print the name of the node to the Kanzi Studio Log window. In this example it prints "RootPage".
            studio.Log(rootNode.Name);
        }

To get the name of a resource:

        public void Execute(PluginCommandParameter parameter)
        {
            // Get the resource whose name you want to get.
            var texturesLibrary = studio.ActiveProject.TextureLibrary;
            var defaultTexture = texturesLibrary.GetItemByName("Default Texture");
            // Print the name of the resource to the Kanzi Studio Log window. In this example it prints "Default Texture".
            studio.Log(defaultTexture.Name);
        }

Project Project

get

Gets the project in which this item is located.

PropertyTypeLibrary PropertyTypeLibrary

get

Gets the Property Types library of the project of this item which stores all property types you create in a Kanzi Studio project.

After you get the library, you can access and create resources in that library.

Examples

To get all property types in the Property Types library:

        public void Execute(PluginCommandParameter parameter)
        {
            // Get the Property Types library which stores all property types you create in a Kanzi Studio project.
            var propertyTypesLibrary = studio.ActiveProject.PropertyTypeLibrary;
            foreach (Property property in propertyTypesLibrary.ProjectPropertyTypes)
            {
                // Print the name of all properties which you can remove to the Kanzi Studio Log window.
                studio.Log(property.Name);
            }
        }

To create your own property type of the integer data type:

        public void Execute(PluginCommandParameter parameter)
        {
            // Get the Property Types library which stores all property types you create in a Kanzi Studio project.
            var propertyTypesLibrary = studio.ActiveProject.PropertyTypeLibrary;
            // Create an integer property type in the Property Types library and set:
            // - Name to MyIntProperty
            // - Name as it is shown in Kanzi Studio to My Int Property
            // - Category in which Kanzi Studio shows the property type to My Properties
            // - Lowest value to 0
            // - Highest value to 9000
            // - The amount by which the property can change to 10
            var myIntProperty = studio.ActiveProject.PropertyTypeLibrary.CreateIntProperty(
                propertyTypesLibrary.GenerateUniqueChildName("MyIntProperty"), 
                "My Int Property", 
                "My Properties", 
                0, 
                9000, 
                10);
        }

string TypeDisplayName

get

Gets the type of a project item.

Examples

To get the type of a node:

        public void Execute(PluginCommandParameter parameter)
        {
            // Get the node whose type you want to get.
            var rootNode = studio.ActiveProject.GetProjectItem("Screens/Screen/RootPage");
            // Print the type of the node to the Kanzi Studio Log window. In this example it prints "Page Host".
            studio.Log(rootNode.TypeDisplayName);
        }

To get the type of a resource:

        public void Execute(PluginCommandParameter parameter)
        {
            // Get the resource whose type you want to get.
            var texturesLibrary = studio.ActiveProject.TextureLibrary;
            var defaultTexture = texturesLibrary.GetItemByName("Default Texture");
            // Print the type of the resource to the Kanzi Studio Log window. In this example it prints "Single Texture".
            studio.Log(defaultTexture.TypeDisplayName);
        }
