Detailed Description

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Notifier() [1/3]

hdi::core::Notifier::Notifier

(

)

Constructs an empty Notifier object.

Author

GW

Date

08/2013

Note

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

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

Notifier() [2/3]

hdi::core::Notifier::Notifier

(

const Notifier &

n_

)

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

Notifier() [3/3]

hdi::core::Notifier::Notifier	(	const NotifierType	type_,
		const Callback &	responder_ )
