Public Member Functions

PackList_TimeBlockTrack (TimeBlockTrackElementCreatorCallBackFunction _func)

Constructor. Like PAckList you specify an element constructor, and the meaning of time by elements. Dates and length are then given in seconds.

virtual const char * GetClassID () const

Each BaseType's inherited classes must explicit an ID for their class, or let use one of the super class at least through this virtual method. This is needed by GUIs to detect the types of each sub-members, and shape an interface for each Object according to their member list.

virtual void SwapElements (unsigned int _indexOfElementToSwapWithNext)

Edition tool: Exchange 2 neighbour elements in the list, if there is a next element. if index is 0, 0 will be 1 and 1 will be 0.

void SetDefaultTimeCellLength (double _DefaultTimeCellLength=8.0)

In edition mode, there is a default timelength you can set at init:.

virtual Cell * GetCellByDate (double _dateInSecond)

Find the Cell which match a given date in the list. It means the date is between this element and the next elment's date. Then get its TimeTrackElement with ->GetManagedObject().

virtual Cell * AddElement (int _indexWhereToInsert=-1, BaseType *_pObjectToAdd=0L)

Override PackList to assure the list is date-sorted. Add a new element, at the given index, in edition context. in non-editable, it shouldnt be used, and serialization recreate the elements. when asked a first element, as the track must have a length, we create 2 elements: a zero timed one, and a end with default time length.

virtual const unsigned char * Serialize_In (const unsigned char *_pDescriptionChunk)

Read the object description from a byte chunk. Could crash if chunk not valid.

virtual unsigned int GetSerializedDescriptionSize (void)

get the size of the whole byte chunk that will be written by Serialize_Out().

virtual unsigned char * Serialize_Out (unsigned char *_pDescriptionChunkToFill)

write the Current object definition to a Chunk using private packed types, recursively.

virtual void DeleteElement (unsigned int _index)

delete an element at a given index. It closes and destroys the object.

virtual void DeleteElement (BaseType *_pObWhichCellIsToDestroy)

delete an element at a given index. It closes and destroys the object.

virtual const unsigned char * MergeSerialize_In (const unsigned char *_pDescriptionChunk, const char *_pendName=0L)

Acts like Serialize_In() but keep all previous objects. So you can load and mix 2 or more context this way.

virtual void CloneElement (unsigned int _indexOfElementToClone)

Insert a new element after _indexOfElementToClone, and clone it with the previous element shape. Note this can exclude some data members, like Object reference.

virtual void SetObjectThatManagesThis (BaseObject *_pManager)

The Object this one belong to as a member. Should only be used at init.

virtual const char * ValueToString ()

convert the value of this object to an explicit string. The object manages the string privately, so just read it or copy it. the string would be destroyed with the objects, and changed when using Set() methods. Note: this is not virtual, but each class can manage m_pValueString or not.

BaseType * Get (unsigned int _index)

get an element at a given index.

Cell * GetFirstCell () const

FirstCell or null if empty.

Cell * GetLastCell () const

the Last Cell or null if empty

unsigned int GetNumberOfCell () const

return the number of cell.

void DeleteAllElements (void)

close and destroy the whole list.

virtual unsigned int WriteFile (const char *_pFileName)

write a serialized form, using GetSerializedDescriptionSize() and Serialize_Out().

virtual unsigned int ReadFile (const char *_pFileName)

Try to read a serialized form, using Serialize_In().

void SetMemberName (const char *_MemberName)

Explicits the name of an object when used as a class member. It exists only in editable mode, and then can be used by any GUI. A member with an infoString not NULL, should be drawn in a GUI and receive updates. an object member with GetMemberName() returning NULL should not be edited by an interface or undo-managed. Use REGISTER_MEMBER macros family: it registers the members and use SetMemberName() automatically (or not, according to the compilation mode).

const char * GetMemberName () const

Explicits the name of an object when used as a class member. It exists only in editable mode, and then can be used by any GUI. A member with an infoString not NULL, should be drawn in a GUI and receive updates. an object member with GetMemberName() to NULL should not be edited by an interface or undo-managed. set with SetMemberName().

void SetMemberInfo (const char *_MemberInfo)

Explicits the use of an object when used as a class member. It should explain what the member does for the object. It exists only in editable mode,and can be used by any GUI. Don't use html tags , only \n are allowed. Use REGISTER_MEMBER_INFO macro after the REGISTER_MEMBER macro in the constructors. It can be left NULL.

const char * GetMemberInfo () const

Explicits the use of an object when used as a class member. It exists only in editable mode and can be used by any GUI. It should explain what the member does for the object.

BaseObject * GetObjectThatManagesThis ()

If there is any, get the object that manages this one as a member.

void MakeCloneOf (BaseType &_ModelObject)

Tool that makes an object take the values of another using serialization. Use with care: You got to clone a PackUlong with a PackULong, a PackString with a PackString: Clone Object of the same type or it will crash . A test is done at the beginning to check that for both types are the sames, if not it does nothing. however it may still crash with 2 objects from unherited classes. Also, some type like PackObjectReference, will not clone its value by copying a pointer.Reference member clonage is done with BaseObject::Clone().

Protected Member Functions

void RegisterSerializableMember (BaseType &_object)

Register any serializable object to serialize for read or write operation, Use it in objects constructors. The object are serialized in the file in the same order as they are given by this method.

void BeginChangeNotification ()

In edition mode, when a member of an object is changed (like in a Set()), you got to use BeginChangeNotification(), make your changes, and then EndChangeNotification(), so that the edition of this object and member is known by the context, and allows it to manage a GUI update and the undo stack.

void EndChangeNotification ()

In edition mode, when a member of an object is changed (like in a Set()), you got to use BeginChangeNotification(), make your changes, and then EndChangeNotification(), so that the edition of this object and member is known by the context, and allows it to manage a GUI update and the undo stack.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum eVedaUpdate [inherited]

enum used by BaseContext::NotifyObjectChange() to describe the notification meaning. Used by interfaces to monitor a context.

Enumerator:

eVedaUpdate_NoUpdate 0 means No Update.

eVedaUpdate_MemberIsGoingToChange Sent before a BaseObject member value change.( in order to lock the context to prevent object use from other thread.).

eVedaUpdate_MemberChanged a member of a BaseObject just changed.

eVedaUpdate_MemberChangedBecauseOfUndo a member of a BaseObject just changed, but because of an undo. you may treat it the same as eVedaUpdate_MemberChanged.

eVedaUpdate_MemberDestroyed Member of object Destroyed ! Watch out, the ID of the member is a dead pointer.

eVedaUpdate_ObjectNew new BaseObject created.

eVedaUpdate_ObjectDestroyed BaseObject just destroyed.Watch out, the ID of the object is a dead pointer.

eVedaUpdate_ObjectReCreated an object has just been Created; It's state has changed!

eVedaUpdate_ObjectClosed an object has just been closed; It's state has changed!

eVedaUpdate_NewRegisteredClass TODO: a new class has been registered to the context.
