Constructor & Destructor Documentation

StringPref() [1/3]

hdi::core::StringPref::StringPref

(

)

Constructs an empty StringPref object.

Author

GW

Date

09/2013

Note

To test if a StringPref object is empty, call isEmpty() on it

Empty StringPref objects do not relate to any actual preference data; they are designed to be "receivers" of some other StringPref object via the overloaded assignment operator. Empty StringPref objects are useless until such time (though it is safe to call any of their methods).

StringPref() [2/3]

hdi::core::StringPref::StringPref

(

const StringPref &

str_

)

Constructs a new StringPref object from an existing StringPref object (copy constructor)

Author

GW

Date

09/2013

Parameters

str_	Existing StringPref object

StringPref() [3/3]

hdi::core::StringPref::StringPref	(	const std::string &	value_,
		const std::string &	name_ = ""
	)

Constructs a StringPref object, with new data, to be added to a container at a later time.

Author

GW

Date

09/2013

Parameters

value_	Initial string value, as UTF-8
name_	Name for the data once it has been added to its container, as UTF-8

Note

The name_ argument can only be "" (omitted) if the object will be added directly to an ArrayPref object.

~StringPref()

virtual hdi::core::StringPref::~StringPref ( )

virtual

Destructs a StringPref object.

Member Function Documentation

clone()

virtual StringPref * hdi::core::StringPref::clone ( ) const

virtual

Convenience method to clone an StringPref object on the heap.

Author

GW

Date

10/2013

Returns

A pointer to the new StringPref object

Note

If you subclass StringPref, you MUST overload this method yourself! If you don't and/or your clone() method does not return an instance of your StringPref subclass, you will experience "object slicing" when adding the pref to a container.

Warning

The caller must manage the memory for the returned StringPref object.

Implements hdi::core::PrefData.

operator=()

virtual StringPref & hdi::core::StringPref::operator= ( const StringPref &  rhs_ )

virtual

Allows one StringPref object to be assigned from another.

Author

GW

Date

09/2013

Parameters

rhs_	Righthand side of the = operator; the object to copy values from

Returns

The target StringPref object, but with its value updated to match that of rhs_

setStringValue()

virtual bool hdi::core::StringPref::setStringValue ( const std::string &  value_ )

virtual

Sets the string value for this object.

Author

Date

09/2013

Parameters

value_

New string value, as UTF-8

Returns

true if the string is successfully updated, or false otherwise

stringValue()

virtual std::string hdi::core::StringPref::stringValue ( ) const

virtual

Gets the string value for this object.

Author

Date

Returns

The string value being described by this wrapper, as UTF-8
