Detailed Description

Base Observable Class that allows to add subscribers to observables. Never use this directly, instead use ObservableRef<>.

MAXON_INTERFACE()

MAXON_INTERFACE ( ObservableBaseInterface  , MAXON_REFERENCE_NORMAL  , "net.maxon.interface.observablebase"    )

private

Init()

MAXON_METHOD Result<void> Init	(	ObserverObjectInterface *	owner,
		const Id &	observableName
	)

This function needs to be called in the implementation InitComponent() function.

Parameters

[in]	owner	Pointer to the observable owner.
[in]	observableName	Name of the observable. This observable name is sent via ObserverConnectNotify/ObserverDisconnectNotify.

Returns

True if the function operates successful.

GetObservableId()

MAXON_METHOD Id GetObservableId

(

)

const

This function returns the Id given in the Init function.

_intDisconnectAll()

MAXON_METHOD void _intDisconnectAll	(	ObserverObjectInterface *	observer,
		Int	pass
	)

This function needs to be called in the implementation FreeComponent() function. Don't use this function directly, only for internal use!

Parameters

[in]	observer	Nullptr if all observables should be disconnected. If a object is given only this specific observables are disconnected.
[in]	pass	Internal use only.

Disconnect()

MAXON_FUNCTION void Disconnect

(

ObserverObjectInterface *

observer

)

This function needs to be called in the implementation FreeComponent() function.

Parameters

[in]

observer

Nullptr if all observables should be disconnected. If a object is given only this specific observables are disconnected.

Free()

MAXON_FUNCTION void Free

(

)

This function needs to be called in the implementation FreeComponent() function.

AddObserver()

MAXON_METHOD Result<void> AddObserver	(	ObserverObjectInterface *	observer,
		const FunctionBaseRef &	observerFunction,
		Int	priority = ADDOBSERVER_DEFAULTPRIORITY
	)

Add a subscriber to the observable. Notes: the implementation need to take the ownership of the observerFunction only if the function succeeds. in the case of an error (returning nullptr) the wrapper class outside frees the memory!

Parameters

[in]	observer	Pointer to a observer object. This parameter can be nullptr.
[in]	observerFunction	Function object that is stored with in the observable.
[in]	priority	Priority in execution. Use ADDOBSERVER_DEFAULTPRIORITY as default. Greater values will execute later.

Returns

OK on success.

Notify()

MAXON_METHOD Result<Data> Notify

(

const Block< const ConstDataPtr > &

args

)

const

Send a notification to all subscribers.

Parameters

[in]

args

Arguments packed into a Block<ConstDataPtr>.

Returns

The combined result of the observable. See CombinerInterface.

RemoveObserver()

MAXON_METHOD Result<void> RemoveObserver

(

const FunctionBaseRef &

observerEntry

)

Remove a observable entry from the subscriber list.

Parameters

[in]

observerEntry

Entry to remove.

Returns

OK on success.

SetInverseNotification()

MAXON_METHOD void SetInverseNotification

(

Bool

inverse

)

Set true to Notify() in inverse order.

GetObserverCount()

MAXON_METHOD Int GetObserverCount

(

)

Gets the number of observers.

Returns

The number of observers.

GetOwner()

MAXON_METHOD ObserverObjectInterface* GetOwner

(

)

const

Gets the owner of the observable.

Returns

The owner of the observable.
