 Return a string representation of the item object.
 
void setItemState (typename ListTemplate< T >::iterator it, const std::string &state) override

List item persistence

To implement persistence, overload getItemState() and setItemState().

Make sure that the string returned by getItemState() can be disposed by clearItemState(), or otherwise overload clearItemState() appropriately. The item's string representation may contain any character, including those used in the list string syntax: [],". The list persistence methods take care of quoting the item strings if necessary.

char * newString (const std::string &str) const
 Convenience method to create a copy of the string str allocated on the heap.
 
void deleteString (char *str) const
 Dispose a string allocated with newString()
 
ListBaseoperator= (const ListBase &list)
 Assignment operator, used in derived list classes.
 

Detailed Description

template<class T>
class ml::BaseListTemplate< T >

Base object template list class for list item classes derived from BaseItem.

List class template (derived from ListTemplate) for list item classes derived from BaseItem. Persistence of the list is based on the corresponding methods of the list class. The list maintains a 'next id' feature to support unique item id's.

To implement an instance of BaseListTemplate with a given type T (where T must be a subclass of BaseItem), the following steps are necessary:

  • Derive a subclass from the template instance class BaseListTemplate<T>
  • Use the ML_CLASS_HEADER and ML_CLASS_SOURCE macros to implement the runtime type system for this class. In the ML_CLASS_SOURCE macro, use ListBase in the base class argument.
  • If persistence is desired for the new class, make sure to initialize the base class with BaseListTemplate<T>(true) in the constructor of the new class. This requires that the persistence methods are properly defined for the item class T.
  • IMPORTANT: Make sure that the item class T has proper copy constructor and assignment operator (these are used by the STL).
