Declaration :
Directly inherited by : UmlItem
Base class of all the classes representing browser's objects.
In the API all for each 'system' class exists a 'user' class
under your responsability which inherits the 'system' class.
You do not have to change the 'system' classes, place your
attributes and operations in the corresponding 'user' classes :
all the instances made by the 'system' classes are instance of
the corresponding 'user' classes.
You must never create or delete yourself a class of the API,
use the Create operation defined in the 'system' classes.
To not allow you to access to the 'system' attributes or to
call 'system' internal operations even by error, the 'system' internal
parts are declared 'private' rather than 'public' or 'protected'.
Artifact : UmlBaseItem
Operation kind |
Declaration :
returns the kind of the item
Operation name |
Declaration :
returns the name
Operation set_Name |
Declaration :
to set the name
On error return FALSE in C++, produce a RuntimeException in Java
Operation stereotype |
Declaration :
returns the stereotype
Operation set_Stereotype |
Declaration :
to set the stereotype
On error return FALSE in C++, produce a RuntimeException in Java
Operation description |
Declaration :
returns the description
Operation set_Description |
Declaration :
to set the description
On error return FALSE in C++, produce a RuntimeException in Java
Operation parent |
Declaration :
returns the parent (0/null if it is applied on the project itself),
to go all over the browser tree
Operation children |
Declaration :
returns (in Java : a copy of) the children list, to go all over the browser tree
Operation childrenVisible |
Declaration :
return TRUE if the children exist and are visible (independently
of the scroll bar) in the browser, else FALSE
Operation set_childrenVisible |
Declaration :
open the item in the browser (its children are visible) if y is TRUE,
else close it (its children are not visible). May be applied on items
without children. The item is also selected in the browser, so
set_ChildrenVisible(childrenVisible()) is the right way to select the item
in the browser.
On error return FALSE in C++, produce a RuntimeException in Java
Operation propertyValue |
Declaration :
In C++, in case the key specified by 'k' exist for the current
object, the string 'v' is modified which the associated value
and TRUE is returned, else returns FALSE.
In Java return the value associated with the key specified by 'k'
for the current object, null in case the property doesn't
exist.
These properties may be edited through the object dialog last tab
named 'user'
Operation set_PropertyValue |
Declaration :
to set (may be insert a new) the value 'v' associated to the key 'k'
On error return FALSE in C++, produce a RuntimeException in Java
Operation properties |
Declaration :
returns all the properties of the object through (in Java a copy of) a dictionnary
Operation moveAfter |
Declaration :
If the parameter is null, move the current item to be
the first child of its parent. Else the current item and
the parameter must have the same parent, the current item
is moved to be just after the parameter.
On error return FALSE in C++, produce a RuntimeException in Java
Operation supportFile |
Declaration :
Returns the absolute path name of the file memoring the Item.
In general an item is saved in a file associated to its package,
the exceptions are :
- the body of the operations of a class which definition contains the
keyword '
Operation isWritable |
Declaration :
return TRUE in case the item may be modified, i.e. it is not
an API base 'plug-out' class and the corresponding file(s) are not
read-only.
Operation apply |
Declaration :
Apply asynchronously the tool on the item, returns an identifier to call isToolDone()
Operation isMarked |
Declaration :
return TRUE in case the item is marked
Operation set_isMarked |
Declaration :
to mark/unmark the current item. The project cannot marked
On error return FALSE in C++, produce a RuntimeException in Java
Operation referencedBy |
Declaration :
Returns the items referencing the current one.
The result may contains UmlAttribute, UmlRelations, UmlNcRelations,
UmlOperation (their bodies are not taken into account) , UmlClass
and UmlComponents.
Operation getIdentifier |
Declaration :
return a constant identifier, it is unique within a given
kind of element (two classes can't have the same identifiers, but
a class and a component may have the same identifier)
except for the diagrams (a class diagram can't have the identifier
of a component diagram)
Operation unload |
Declaration :
to unload the object to free memory, it will be reloaded automatically
if needed. Recursively done for the sub items if 'rec' is TRUE.
if 'del' is true the sub items are deleted in C++, and removed from the
internal dictionnary in C++ and Java (to allow it to be garbaged),
you will have to call Children() to re-access to them
Operation deleteIt |
Declaration :
remove the element from the model, use it carefully because
after that the element can't be used anymore by the plug-out
On error : return FALSE in C++, produce a RuntimeException in Java
Operation isToolRunning |
Declaration :
'id' is an identifier returned by apply(), indicates if the tool is still running
Operation markedItems |
Declaration :
Extra Class Member remark |
