    ◆ MAXON_INTERFACE_NONVIRTUAL()

    MAXON_INTERFACE_NONVIRTUAL ( Application  ,
    MAXON_REFERENCE_NONE  ,
    "net.maxon.interface.application"   
    )
    private

    ◆ GetUrl()

    static MAXON_FUNCTION Result<Url> GetUrl ( APPLICATION_URLTYPE  urlType)
    static

    Returns the requested url.

    Parameters
    [in]urlTypeType of the url, see APPLICATION_URLTYPE.
    Returns
    Url containing the requested.

    ◆ GetTempUrl()

    static MAXON_METHOD Result<Url> GetTempUrl ( const Url directory)
    static

    Returns a new unique url for a temporary file. A typical use for this is Url tempfile = Application::GetTempUrl(tempDirectory);

    Parameters
    [in]directoryDirectory url where the temporary file should be created in.
    Returns
    Url pointing to the temporary file.

    ◆ GetModulePaths()

    static MAXON_METHOD Result<BaseArray<Url> > GetModulePaths ( )
    static

    Returns all module paths configured through g_modulePath, g_additionalModulePath and user preferences.

    Returns
    Array containing all paths that are searched for modules.

    ◆ GetCommandLineArgCount()

    static MAXON_METHOD Int GetCommandLineArgCount ( )
    static

    Returns the number of command line arguments delivered to the app on startup.

    Returns
    Number of arguments to request via GetCommandLineArg().

    ◆ GetCommandLineArg()

    static MAXON_METHOD String GetCommandLineArg ( Int  idx)
    static

    Returns a command line argument.

    Parameters
    [in]idxThe index of the argument. (0 >= idx < GetCommandLineArgCount()).
    Returns
    The requested argument.

    ◆ GetMachineInfo()

    static MAXON_METHOD DataDictionary GetMachineInfo ( )
    static

    Returns information about the system and processor. See maxon::MACHINEINFO for DataDictionary properties.

    ◆ GetApplicationMode()

    static MAXON_METHOD APPLICATIONMODE GetApplicationMode ( )
    static

    Retrieves the current application mode. This mode defines the behavior after the startup is done.

    Returns
    The current application mode.

    ◆ SetApplicationMode()

    static MAXON_METHOD Bool SetApplicationMode ( APPLICATIONMODE  mode)
    static

    Sets a new application mode. This mode defines the behavior after the startup is done. Please note that it's only possible to raise the mode from APPLICATIONMODE::DONTWAIT to APPLICATIONMODE::KEEPRUNNING.

    Parameters
    [in]modeThe new mode to be set.
    Returns
    True if the function changed the mode successfully.

    ◆ GetFeature()

    static MAXON_METHOD Bool GetFeature ( APPLICATIONFEATURE  feature)
    static

    ◆ SetFeature()

    static MAXON_METHOD void SetFeature ( APPLICATIONFEATURE  feature,
    Bool  value 
    )
    static
    Parameters
    [in]featureThe feature to set or clear.
    [in]valueThe value of the feature

    ◆ GetVersion()

    static MAXON_METHOD Result<void> GetVersion ( Int version,
    String buildID 
    )
    static

    Gets the version number and build ID.

    Parameters
    [out]versionThe version number will be assigned to this value.
    [out]buildIDVariable that will hold the buildID.

    ◆ FormatVersionString()

    static MAXON_METHOD String FormatVersionString ( Int  rawVersionNumber)
    static

    Formats the Int version returned by GetVersion() into a string with the 2023 (and later) format

    Parameters
    [in]rawVersionNumberThe version to be formatted.
    Returns
    The formatted string.

    ◆ MAXON_OBSERVABLE_STATIC()

    MAXON_OBSERVABLE_STATIC ( Result< Bool ,
    ObservableApplicationMessage  ,
    (const Id &messageId, const DataDictionary &messageData)  ,
    ObservableCombinerRunAllBoolUntilFalse   
    )

    ObservableDatabaseRegistrationChange after a database was added or removed to the system. This can be used to update editors.
