Represents a dynamically implemented object.
This class is primarily intended for wrapping scripting language objects, but could be used for other purposes.
An instance of a DynamicObject can be used to store named properties, and by subclassing hasMethod() and invokeMethod(), you can give your object methods.
| virtual DynamicObject::~DynamicObject | ( | ) | [virtual] |
Destructor.
| virtual bool DynamicObject::hasProperty | ( | const Identifier & | propertyName | ) | const [virtual] |
Returns true if the object has a property with this name.
Note that if the property is actually a method, this will return false.
| virtual var DynamicObject::getProperty | ( | const Identifier & | propertyName | ) | const [virtual] |
Returns a named property.
This returns a void if no such property exists.
| virtual void DynamicObject::setProperty | ( | const Identifier & | propertyName, |
| const var & | newValue | ||
| ) | [virtual] |
Sets a named property.
| virtual void DynamicObject::removeProperty | ( | const Identifier & | propertyName | ) | [virtual] |
Removes a named property.
| virtual bool DynamicObject::hasMethod | ( | const Identifier & | methodName | ) | const [virtual] |
Checks whether this object has the specified method.
The default implementation of this just checks whether there's a property with this name that's actually a method, but this can be overridden for building objects with dynamic invocation.
| virtual var DynamicObject::invokeMethod | ( | const Identifier & | methodName, |
| const var * | parameters, | ||
| int | numParameters | ||
| ) | [virtual] |
Invokes a named method on this object.
The default implementation looks up the named property, and if it's a method call, then it invokes it.
This method is virtual to allow more dynamic invocation to used for objects where the methods may not already be set as properies.
| void DynamicObject::setMethod | ( | const Identifier & | methodName, |
| var::MethodFunction | methodFunction | ||
| ) |
Sets up a method.
This is basically the same as calling setProperty (methodName, (var::MethodFunction) myFunction), but helps to avoid accidentally invoking the wrong type of var constructor. It also makes the code easier to read,
The compiler will probably force you to use an explicit cast your method to a (var::MethodFunction), e.g.
setMethod ("doSomething", (var::MethodFunction) &MyClass::doSomething);
| void DynamicObject::clear | ( | ) |
Removes all properties and methods from the object.
Returns the NamedValueSet that holds the object's properties.
