Inheritance diagram for cgv::base::object_constructor:

Public Member Functions
std::string	get_type_name () const
	return the type name of the object constructor class

virtual std::string	get_constructed_type_name () const =0
	return the type name of the to be constructed object

virtual base_ptr	construct_object () const =0
	creation function

Public Member Functions inherited from cgv::base::base
virtual std::string	get_default_options () const
	overload to provide default options for registration

std::string	get_name_or_type_name () const
	determine name of instance by checking cgv::base::named interface and in failure fallback to get_type_name()

virtual void	on_register ()
	overload to handle register events that is sent after the instance has been registered

virtual void	unregister ()
	overload to handle unregistration of instances

virtual bool	on_exit_request ()
	overload to handle the appication exit request, return true if exiting is allowed and false otherwise

virtual void	stream_stats (std::ostream &)
	overload to show the content of this object

virtual data::ref_ptr< named, true >	get_named ()
	perform downcast to named

virtual data::ref_ptr< node, true >	get_node ()
	perform downcast to node

virtual data::ref_ptr< group, true >	get_group ()
	perform downcast to group

virtual data::ref_ptr< const named, true >	get_named_const () const
	perform downcast to const named

virtual data::ref_ptr< const node, true >	get_node_const () const
	perform downcast to const node

virtual data::ref_ptr< const group, true >	get_group_const () const
	perform downcast to const group

template<class T >
data::ref_ptr< T, true >	cast ()
	cast to arbitrary class, but use the casts to named, node and group from the interface

template<class T >
data::ref_ptr< const T, true >	cast_const ()
	const cast to arbitrary class, but use the casts to named, node and group from the interface

template<class T >
T *	get_interface ()
	use dynamic type cast to check for the given interface

template<class T >
const T *	get_const_interface () const
	use dynamic type cast to check for the given interface

virtual void	update ()
	this virtual update allows for example to ask a view to update the viewed value. The default implementation is empty.

virtual void *	get_user_data () const
	this virtual method allows to pass application specific data for internal purposes

virtual bool	self_reflect (cgv::reflect::reflection_handler &)
	used for simple self reflection

virtual std::string	get_property_declarations ()
	return a semicolon separated list of property declarations

virtual bool	set_void (const std::string &property, const std::string &value_type, const void *value_ptr)
	abstract interface for the setter of a dynamic property.

virtual void	on_set (void *member_ptr)
	this callback is called when the set_void method has changed a member and can be overloaded in derived class

virtual bool	get_void (const std::string &property, const std::string &value_type, void *value_ptr)
	abstract interface for the getter of a dynamic property.

virtual bool	call_void (const std::string &method, const std::vector< std::string > &param_value_types, const std::vector< const void * > &param_value_ptrs, const std::string &result_type="", void *result_value_ptr=0)
	abstract interface to call an action

void	set (const std::string &property, const char *value)
	specialization of set method to support const char* as strings

template<typename T >
void	set (const std::string &property, const T &value)
	set a property of the element to the given value and perform standard conversions if necessary.

template<typename T >
T	get (const std::string &property)
	query a property of the element and perform standard conversions if necessary.

void	multi_set (const std::string &property_assignments, bool report_error=true)
	set several properties

bool	is_property (const std::string &property_name, std::string *type_name=0)
	check if the given name specifies a property.

void *	find_member_ptr (const std::string &property_name, std::string *type_name=0)
	find a member pointer by name.

Public Member Functions inherited from cgv::data::ref_counted
int	get_ref_count () const
	read access to current count

Additional Inherited Members
Protected Member Functions inherited from cgv::base::base
virtual	~base ()
	make destructor virtual and not accessible from outside

Protected Member Functions inherited from cgv::data::ref_counted
	ref_counted ()
	constructor initializes the count to 0

void	set_ref_count (int c) const
	write access is also const to allow ref counted pointers to const instances

Static Protected Member Functions inherited from cgv::base::base
template<class T >
static data::ref_ptr< T, true >	cast_dynamic (base *b)
	use dynamic cast for upcast to given class
