Detailed Description

Application Framework command class.

Library: ilvappframe

This is the base class for all commands in the Application Framework package.
To define new commands, you need to create a subclass of this class and provide, as a minimum, an implementation for the doIt and undo methods.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

IlvDvCommand::IlvDvCommand

(

const IlvDvCommand &

source

)

Copies the constructor.

Member Function Documentation

virtual IlBoolean IlvDvCommand::bringChanges ( ) const

virtual

Query for the impact of the command on the document.

Returns

IlTrue if the command modifies the document (so that it should be saved after doIt is called), and IlFalse otherwise. The default implementation returns IlTrue.

virtual IlBoolean IlvDvCommand::canUndo ( ) const

virtual

Query for undo capability.

Returns

IlTrue if this command can be undone (if unDo makes sense), and IlFalse otherwise.
The default implementation returns IlTrue.

virtual IlvDvCommand* IlvDvCommand::copy ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns a copy of the command object.

Returns

A copy of the command object.

virtual void IlvDvCommand::undo ( )

pure virtual

Called when the command must be undone.
