Static Public Member Functions

static void setValueCallback (void *field, double value)
 Callback method that can be used as a MLRequestProgressCB to set the progress to the field.
 
- Static Public Member Functions inherited from ml::Field
static void enableNotificationsGlobally (bool flag)
 Enables or disables globally the notification mechanism for all fields and field sensors when field values are set or notified (by notifyAttachments() or set*Value() methods), depending on the parameter flag.
 
static bool areNotificationsEnabledGlobally ()
 Returns whether the notification mechanism for all fields (e.g., when field values are set) is enabled (see enableNotificationsGlobally(bool) ) Usually it is false(=0) within all calls of Module::calc* methods to avoid that field changes within these methods recursively start the calculation process of the ML.
 
static MLintenableNotificationsCounterState ()
 Provides read/write access to the current counter state (see enableNotificationsGlobally(bool) ).

Member Function Documentation

◆ _initialize()

void ml::FloatField::_initialize ( const std::string & name = "",
float * valuePtr = nullptr )
protected

Initializes this field.

float ml::FloatField::getFloatValue ( ) const

Returns the value of the field.

◆ getStringValue()

std::string ml::FloatField::getStringValue ( ) const
overridevirtual

Returns the value of the field as a string value.

setStringValue must be able to reinterpret this returned string correctly.

Implements ml::Field.

◆ getValue()

float ml::FloatField::getValue ( ) const
inline

Same as getFloatValue().

Definition at line 455 of file mlFields.h.

◆ setFloatValue()

void ml::FloatField::setFloatValue ( float floatValue)

Sets the field value to floatValue.

By default the entire float type range can be set.

◆ setStringValue()

void ml::FloatField::setStringValue ( const std::string & stringValue)
overridevirtual

Sets the value of the field to stringValue.

Implements ml::Field.

◆ updateFloatValue()

void ml::FloatField::updateFloatValue ( float floatValue)

Sets the field value to floatValue, but only touch field if the new value is different from the old value.

(NOTE that values must be identical to avoid touching the field!) By default the entire float type range can be set.

◆ updateValue()
