Detailed Description

Dali::Handle is a handle to an internal property owning Dali object that can have constraints applied to it.

Since:
2.4, DALi version 1.0.0

Member Enumeration Documentation

Enumeration for Handle's capabilities that can be queried using Handle::Supports().

Since:
2.4, DALi version 1.0.0
Enumerator:
DYNAMIC_PROPERTIES 

Some objects support dynamic property creation at run-time.

New properties are registered by calling RegisterProperty() with an unused property name.

Since:
2.4, DALi version 1.0.0

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Dali::Handle::Handle ( Dali::Internal::Object *  handle)

This constructor is used by Dali New() methods.

Since:
2.4, DALi version 1.0.0
Parameters:
[in]handleA pointer to a newly allocated Dali resource

This constructor provides an uninitialized Dali::Handle.

This should be initialized with a Dali New() method before use. Methods called on an uninitialized Dali::Handle will assert.

 Handle handle; // uninitialized
 handle.SomeMethod(); // unsafe! This will assert

 handle = SomeClass::New(); // now initialized
 handle.SomeMethod(); // safe
Since:
2.4, DALi version 1.0.0

Dali::Handle is intended as a base class.

This is non-virtual since derived Handle types must not contain data or virtual methods.

Since:
2.4, DALi version 1.0.0
Dali::Handle::Handle ( const Handle handle)

This copy constructor is required for (smart) pointer semantics.

Since:
2.4, DALi version 1.0.0
Parameters:
[in]handleA reference to the copied handle

Precondition:
The property types match i.e. PropertyTypes::Get<T>() is equal to GetPropertyType(index).
uint32_t Dali::Handle::GetPropertyCount ( ) const

Queries how many properties are provided by an handle.

This may vary between instances of a class, if dynamic properties are supported.

Since:
2.4, DALi version 1.0.0
Returns:
The number of properties
Property::Index Dali::Handle::GetPropertyIndex ( const std::string &  name) const

Queries the index of a property.

Returns the first property index that matches the given name exactly.

Since:
2.4, DALi version 1.0.0
Parameters:
[in]nameThe name of the property
Returns:
The index of the property, or Property::INVALID_INDEX if no property exists with the given name

Retrieves all the property indices for this object (including custom properties).

Since:
2.4, DALi version 1.0.0
Parameters:
[out]indicesA container of property indices for this object
Note:
The added container is cleared.
std::string Dali::Handle::GetPropertyName ( Property::Index  index) const

Queries the name of a property.

Since:
2.4, DALi version 1.0.0
Parameters:

The name of the property

Queries the type of a property.

Since:
2.4, DALi version 1.0.0
Parameters:
[in]indexThe index of the property
Returns:
The type of the property

Queries whether a property can be used as in input to a constraint.

Since:
2.4, DALi version 1.0.0
Parameters:
[in]indexThe index of the property
Returns:
True if the property can be used as a constraint input

Queries whether a writable property can be the target of an animation or constraint.

Since:
2.4, DALi version 1.0.0
Parameters:
[in]indexThe index of the property
Returns:
True if the property is animatable

Queries whether a property can be set using SetProperty().

This can happen if you try to register animatable property on an object that does not have scene graph object.
Note:
Only the following types can be animated:
If a property with the desired name already exists, then the value given is just set.
