Detailed Description

Inspector class.

Library: ivstudio

Accessors use IlvStIEditor objects to edit their values. Generally, an editor interfaces with a gadget (see IlvStIDefaultEditorBuilder).
From a functional point of view, an editor has three behaviors:

It initializes itself (via the initialize() method).
It applies modifications that have been made to the editor (via the apply() method). The apply() method is invoked only for editors that are not attached to accessors, which are referred to as stand-alone editors.
It connects to a holder (via the connectHolder() method). For example, a gadget editor finds the gadget inside the holder and adds a callback to it.

See Also: IlvStIAccessor, IlvStIEditorSet.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum IlvStIEditor::NotificationMode

This enumeration type specifies when the editor notifies an accessor about a user modification.

Enumerator
AsOwner	The mode is that of the owner editor (see `getOwner()`). If there is no owner, the notification mode is set to `Default`.
Default	The accessor is notified if a relevant modification occurs. For a text field editor, for example, a relevant modification is the loss of the focus.
Immediate	The accessor is notified as soon as the user modifies the editor. For a text field editor, for example, pressing a key triggers notification.

enum IlvStIEditor::State

This enumeration type defines the editor state.

As far as gadget editors are concerned, the State flags correspond to the sensitivity and activity flags of the associated gadget.

Enumerator
Active	The editor is active.
Unactive	The editor is unactive.
Unsensitive	The editor is unsensitive.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

IlvStIEditor::IlvStIEditor	(	const char *	name = `0`,
		NotificationMode	mode = `AsOwner`
	)

protected

Constructor from a name and a notification mode.

Parameters

name	The name editor. Using this name, an inspector can retrieve an editor and set the focus to this editor.
mode	The notification mode of the editor.

Member Function Documentation

void IlvStIEditor::addProperty	(	const IlSymbol *	name,
		IlAny	property
	)

Adds a property to a properties list.

Parameters

name	The properties list name.
property	The new property.

virtual IlBoolean IlvStIEditor::connectHolder ( IlvGraphicHolder * holder )

virtual

Connects the specified holder with the editor.

Connects the specified holder with the editor. For example, a gadget editor finds the gadget inside the holder and adds a callback to it.

Parameters

holder The holder.

Returns: IlTrue if the operation succeeds otherwise returns IlFalse.

Reimplemented in IlvStIDefaultEditorBuilder, IlvStIEditorSet, IlvStIPropertyTreeEditor, IlvStIPropertyListEditor, IlvStIMainEditor, and IlvStIPropertiesEditor.

virtual void IlvStIEditor::empty ( )

virtual

Empties the editor.

It is called when the editor cannot be initialized with a value. For example, in the case of a list editor, the list is cleared.

Reimplemented in IlvStIEditorSet, IlvStIPropertyTreeEditor, and IlvStIPropertyListEditor.

const IlvStIEditor* IlvStIEditor::findEditor ( const char * name ) const

Searches an editor in the editors tree that are owned by this editor.

Parameters

name	The editor name.

Returns: The editor with the specified name if the editor is found, otherwise returns 0.

IlvStIEditor* IlvStIEditor::findEditor ( const char * name )

Searches an editor in the editors tree that are owned by this editor.

Parameters

name	The editor name.

Returns: The editor with the specified name if the editor is found, otherwise returns 0.

virtual IlvStIPropertyAccessor* IlvStIEditor::getAccessor ( ) const

virtual

Returns the accessor associated with the editor.

Returns: The accessor associated with the editor, if any. By default, it returns 0. When the editor is added to the inspector panel, this latter calls this method to know whether the editor is associated with an accessor. If it is, the editor is initialized via the associated accessor. Otherwise, the stand-alone editor is initialized by the inspector panel and its apply() method is invoked to apply the changes.

Reimplemented in IlvStIPropertyEditorSet.

NotificationMode IlvStIEditor::getNotificationMode ( ) const

Returns the notification mode of the editor.

Returns: The notification mode of the editor.

IlvStIEditor* IlvStIEditor::getOwner ( ) const

Returns the owner of the editor.

Returns: The owner of the editor, however it returns 0 if the editor is not owned.

IlAny* IlvStIEditor::getProperties	(	const IlSymbol *	name,
		IlUInt &	count
	)		const

Returns an array of properties.

Parameters

name	The properties array name.
count	Contains the property count.

Returns: An array of properties whose name is specified as the argument.

IlAny IlvStIEditor::getProperty ( const IlSymbol * name ) const

Returns a property.

Parameters

name	The property name.

Returns: Returns the property whose name is specified as the argument. If there are several properties, the first one is returned.

virtual IlBoolean IlvStIEditor::initialize ( )

pure virtual

Initializes the editor.

In the case of gadget editors, this method gets an initialization value from the accessor and sets this value to the gadget.

Returns: IlTrue if the operation succeeds otherwise returns IlFalse.

Implemented in IlvStIDefaultEditorBuilder, IlvStIPropertyEditorSet, IlvStIEditorSet, IlvStIMainEditor, and IlvStIPropertiesEditor.

virtual IlBoolean IlvStIEditor::isModified ( ) const

virtual

Returns IlTrue if the editor is modified.

Returns: IlTrue if the editor is modified, IlFalse otherwise. By default, it returns the modification state of the associated accessor.

Reimplemented in IlvStIPropertyEditorSet, IlvStIEditorSet, and IlvStIMainEditor.

virtual IlBoolean IlvStIEditor::isVisible ( ) const

virtual

Returns the editor visibility.

Returns: IlTrue if the editor is visible, IlFalse otherwise. For example, a gadget editor returns the visible state of the associated gadget.

Reimplemented in IlvStIEditorSet.

IlBoolean IlvStIEditor::removeProperties ( const IlSymbol * name )

Removes some properties.

Parameters

name	The properties name.

Returns: IlTrue if one or more properties have been removed.

virtual void IlvStIEditor::setFocus ( IlBoolean focus = IlTrue )

virtual

Sets the focus on the editor.

Sets the focus on the editor. For example, a gadget editor will set the focus on the associated gadget.

Parameters

focus If IlTrue the editor get the focus.

Reimplemented in IlvStIEditorSet.

virtual void IlvStIEditor::setModified ( IlBoolean modified = IlTrue )

virtual

Sets the modification state of the editor.

Sets the modification state of the editor. By default, it sets the modification state of the associated accessor.

Parameters

modified The new modification state of the editor.

Reimplemented in IlvStIMainEditor, and IlvStIPropertiesEditor.

void IlvStIEditor::setNotificationMode ( NotificationMode mode )

Sets the notification mode of the editor.

Parameters

mode	The new notification mode of the editor.

void IlvStIEditor::setOwner ( IlvStIEditor * editor )

Sets the owner of the editor.

Parameters

editor The owner of the editor.

void IlvStIEditor::setProperty	(	const IlSymbol *	name,
		IlAny	property
	)

Replaces all the properties by another property.

Replaces all the properties whose name is specified. If there is no property with the specified name, the method adds it.

Parameters

name	The name of the properties.
property	The property which replaces.

virtual void IlvStIEditor::setState	(	State	state = `Active`,
		IlBoolean	redraw = `IlTrue`
	)

virtual

Sets the state of the editor.

Parameters

state	The new state.
redraw	If `IlTrue`, the editor will be redrawn.

Reimplemented in IlvStIEditorSet, IlvStIPropertyTreeEditor, and IlvStIPropertiesEditor.

virtual void IlvStIEditor::setVisible ( IlBoolean visible = IlTrue )

virtual

Sets the editor as visible.
