Typedef Documentation

◆ IlsSwComponentCallbackType

typedef IlsBoolean(* IlsSwComponentCallbackType) (IlsSwComponent &, IlsAny)

This is the default IlsSwComponent callback type.

If the callback returns IlsTrue, no further callbacks are called and, if appropriate, the default action of the component is not performed.

Library: mvsw
.

See also
IlsSwComponent.

◆ IlsSwInFormConverter

typedef IlsMvValue(* IlsSwInFormConverter) (const IliValue &)

This type converts a Rogue Wave Views type to a Rogue Wave Server type.

Library: mvsw
.

See also
IlsSwComponent.

◆ IlsSwOpenViewCallbackType

typedef void(* IlsSwOpenViewCallbackType) (IlsSwRepresentation *, const IlsString &, IlsOpenViewStatus, IlsAny)

This is the callback type for the callback called when a view is opened using member functions from the API of the Server/Views mapping (such as IlsSwComponent::openSwView(), IlsSwRow::swOnDereference(), and so forth).

The status argument gives the status of the view-opening.

This callback is called by the function IlsSwRepresentation::onCreation() if opening the view has caused a new representation to be created. It can also be called by the function IlsSwComponent::ackOpenView() if the view was already opened on the same origin, and has not been opened in force mode.

If the callback is called with no representation, it means that the view has not been opened on the client side, in which case the status reports why it has not been opened.

You can test whether the representation is bad using the member function IlsSwRepresentation::isBad(). A representation may be bad if its initialization failed – in most cases, because invalid parameters were passed – thus causing an alert message to be displayed to the user. If this happens, the representation will be closed just after this callback.

Note
You cannot delete the representation in this callback.

Library: mvsw
.

IlsSwComponent, IlsSwRow.

◆ IlsSwRowCallbackType

typedef IlsBoolean(* IlsSwRowCallbackType) (IlsSwRow &, IlsAny)

This is the default IlsSwRow callback type.

If the callback returns IlsTrue, no further callbacks are called, and if appropriate, the default action of the row representation is not performed.

Library: mvsw
.

See also
IlsSwRow.

◆ IlsSwServerConverter

typedef IliValue(* IlsSwServerConverter) (const IlsMvValue &)

This type converts a Server type to a Views type.

Library: mvsw
.

See also
IlsSwComponent.

◆ IlsSwTableCallbackDeleteRowType

typedef IlsBoolean(* IlsSwTableCallbackDeleteRowType) (IlsSwTable &table, IlsAny arg, IlsBoolean destroy, IlsSwRow *&row, IlvBoolean &returnValue)

This is the IlsSwTable callback type for the callback IlsSwTable::DeleteRowSymbol().

This callback is called by the member function IlsSwTable::deleteRow(), which is itself called by the virtual member function IlsSwMemoryTable::deleteRow() when a row is deleted from the data source. This callback receives the following data:

  • table is a reference on the table that issues the deletion
  • arg is the parameter that has been specified when setting the callback.
  • The Boolean argument destroy is IlsTrue if the corresponding row must be deleted.
  • row is a pointer on the row to be deleted.
  • returnValue is a reference on a Boolean value that will be used as a return value for the function IlsSwMemoryTable::deleteRow().

When this callback is called, it must set the return value to IlsTrue if the deletion is successful or IlsFalse otherwise.

If this callback returns IlsTrue, this means that it has handled the deletion. In this case, the deleteRow() member function does not process any further action. Otherwise, Server deletes the IlsSwRow object.

Library: mvsw
.

IlsSwRow, IlsSwTable.

◆ IlsSwTableCallbackInsertRowType

typedef IlsBoolean(* IlsSwTableCallbackInsertRowType) (IlsSwTable &, IlsAny, IlvInt rowNumber, IliTableBuffer *buf, IlsSwRow *&row, IlvBoolean &returnValue)

This is the IlsSwTable callback type for the callback IlvSwTable::InsertRowSymbol().

When this callback is called, it must set three values:

  • The return value of the callback.
    • This must be set to IlsFalse if the callback did nothing or is prepared to let the other callbacks, if any, be called.
    • If the callback returns IlsTrue, no more callbacks are called and the action taken then depends on the return parameters row and returnValue, as explained below. Additionally in this latter case, this callback receives as parameters the row number and buffer to be inserted and must set the parameters row and returnValue.
  • The returnValue parameter is the value that will be used as the return value of the Views member function IliTable::insertRow().
    • If the callback returns a row and sets the returnValue argument to IlvFalse, the row in the datasource is not inserted.
    • If the callback sets the returnValue argument to IlsTrue, the row in the datasource is inserted.
  • The row parameter
    • If non-null, this row object will be used as the new row.
    • If null, the table creates a new row object.

Library: mvsw
.

IlsSwRow, IlsSwTable.

◆ IlsSwTableCallbackType

typedef IlsBoolean(* IlsSwTableCallbackType) (IlsSwTable &, IlsAny)

This the default IlsSwTable callback type.

If the callback returns IlsTrue, no further callbacks are called, and if appropriate, the default action of the table representation is not performed.

Library: mvsw
.

See also
IlsSwTable.

◆ IlsVwConnectionPanelOpenViewCallbackType

typedef IlsBoolean(* IlsVwConnectionPanelOpenViewCallbackType) (IlsMvComponent *component, const IlsString &objName, const IlsString &viewName, IlsBoolean force, IlsAny)

This is the callback type for the callback called when a view is opened using the connection panel.

Library: mvconpan
.

This type takes the following arguments:

  • The component on which this view is opened
  • The label of the server object
  • The name of the view
  • If set to IlsTrue, the Boolean argument force means that the user wants to open the view in force mode. See the description of the arguments to the function IlsMvComponent::openView() for more information.
  • arg is the argument you supplied when installing the callback using the member function IlsVwConnectionPanel::setOpenViewCallback().

If this type returns IlsTrue, it means that you have parameterized the opening of the view. Otherwise, the connection panel opens the view using the standard IlsMvComponent::openView() member function.

Function Documentation

◆ IlsSwGetDs() [1/2]

const IliMemoryDataSource* IlsSwGetDs ( const IliFieldItf *  itf)

Returns the data source associated with a data-source-aware gadget.

Library: mvsw

This function should be used instead of the following Rogue Wave Views member functions:

  • IliFieldItf::f_getDataSource(), or
  • IliFieldItf::f_getDataSourceName().

This function uses the Rogue Wave Views method f_getDataSource() or, if this method fails, the Rogue Wave Views repository, to get the data source from the data source name (using the method f_getDataSourceName()). The method then does a safe downcast to get the correct return type. It returns NULL if the data-aware gadget is not connected, or if the data source is not of type IliMemoryDataSource* or a type that derives from this class.

See also
IliFieldItf (in the Rogue Wave Views documentation, Data Access package).

◆ IlsSwGetDs() [2/2]

IliMemoryDataSource* IlsSwGetDs ( IliFieldItf *  itf)

Returns the data source associated with a data-source-aware gadget.

Library: mvsw

This function should be used instead of the following Rogue Wave Views member functions:

  • IliFieldItf::f_getDataSource(), or
  • IliFieldItf::f_getDataSourceName().

This function uses the Rogue Wave Views method f_getDataSource() or, if this method fails, the Rogue Wave Views repository, to get the data source from the data source name (using the method f_getDataSourceName()). The method then does a safe downcast to get the correct return type. It returns NULL if the data-aware gadget is not connected, or if the data source is not of type IliMemoryDataSource* or a type that derives from this class.

See also
IliFieldItf (in the Rogue Wave Views documentation, Data Access package).

◆ IlsSwGetSwTable() [1/4]

const IlsSwTable* IlsSwGetSwTable ( const IliDataSource *  ds)
