Detailed Description

Field to encapsulate a pointer to an output connector which represents a module output.

Definition at line 1084 of file mlFields.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ OutputConnectorField() [1/2]

ml::OutputConnectorField::OutputConnectorField ( )

Implements the runtime type system interface for this class.

Default constructor, do not use it.

◆ OutputConnectorField() [2/2]

ml::OutputConnectorField::OutputConnectorField	(	const std::string &	name,
		Module *	module,
		MLint	outputImageIndex
	)

Constructor, creates a field with a name to manage an OutputConnector on the Module module at index outputImageIndex.

◆ ~OutputConnectorField()

ml::OutputConnectorField::~OutputConnectorField ( )

override

Destroys the field.

Member Function Documentation

◆ getOutputConnectorValue()

OutputConnector& ml::OutputConnectorField::getOutputConnectorValue ( ) const

Returns a reference to the OutputConnector.

◆ getStringValue()

std::string ml::OutputConnectorField::getStringValue ( ) const

overridevirtual

Reference to OutputConnector as C-string to return (OutputConnector do not have a value, therefore reference is returned).

Returns the value of the field as a string value. setStringValue must be able to interpret this returned string correctly.

Implements ml::Field.

◆ isValidValue()

MLint ml::OutputConnectorField::isValidValue ( )

overridevirtual

Returns 1 if connector field contains a valid connector pointer.

Reimplemented from ml::Field.

◆ setStringValue()

void ml::OutputConnectorField::setStringValue ( const std::string & )

overridevirtual

Only calls touch() to propagate notifications.

It implicitly clears the cache of the output connector field.

Implements ml::Field.

◆ touch()

void ml::OutputConnectorField::touch ( FieldSensor::Strength strength = FieldSensor::CHANGED )

overridevirtual

A notified output image must also clear its PagedImage if it is considered as changed.

So it needs to be overloaded here. Default is that it is considered as FieldSensor::CHANGED.

Reimplemented from ml::Field.
