Enables or disables globally the notification mechanism for all fields and field sensors when field v...
void detachDestinationFields()
Disconnects all target fields of this instance in both directions.
virtual MLint isValidValue()
Returns true (=1) if the field's value is valid; otherwise, false (=0) is returned.

Disconnects connections between the target field targetField and this instance.
bool isOutputOnly() const
Returns whether this field is marked as a pure output field.
void detachFieldSensors()
Detaches all field sensors of this class instance in both directions.
void detachSourceField(Field *field)
Removes a source field from this instance. If not found, then this call does nothing.
virtual void touch(FieldSensor::Strength strength=FieldSensor::CHANGED)
Notifies all connected fields and field sensors.
