Public Member Functions
	plAbstractProperty (const char *szPropertyName)
	The constructor must get the name of the property. The string must be a compile-time constant.
const char *	GetPropertyName () const
	Returns the name of the property.
virtual const plRTTI *	GetSpecificType () const =0
	Returns the type information of the constant property. Use this to cast this property to a specific version of plTypedConstantProperty.
virtual plPropertyCategory::Enum	GetCategory () const =0
	Returns the category of this property. Cast this property to the next higher type for more information.
const plBitflags< plPropertyFlags > &	GetFlags () const
	Returns the flags of the property.
plAbstractProperty *	AddFlags (plBitflags< plPropertyFlags > flags)
	Adds flags to the property. Returns itself to allow to be called during initialization.
plAbstractProperty *	AddAttributes (plPropertyAttribute *pAttrib1, plPropertyAttribute *pAttrib2=nullptr, plPropertyAttribute *pAttrib3=nullptr, plPropertyAttribute *pAttrib4=nullptr, plPropertyAttribute *pAttrib5=nullptr, plPropertyAttribute *pAttrib6=nullptr)
	Adds attributes to the property. Returns itself to allow to be called during initialization. Allocate an attribute using standard 'new'.
plArrayPtr< const plPropertyAttribute *const >	GetAttributes () const
	Returns the array of property attributes.
template<typename Type >
const Type *	GetAttributeByType () const
	Returns the first attribute that derives from the given type, or nullptr if nothing is found.

Detailed Description

This is the base interface for all properties in the reflection system. It provides enough information to cast to the next better base class.

Member Function Documentation

GetCategory()

virtual plPropertyCategory::Enum plAbstractProperty::GetCategory ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the category of this property. Cast this property to the next higher type for more information.

Implemented in plAbstractArrayProperty, plAbstractConstantProperty, plAbstractFunctionProperty, plAbstractMapProperty, plAbstractMemberProperty, and plAbstractSetProperty.

GetSpecificType()

virtual const plRTTI * plAbstractProperty::GetSpecificType ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the type information of the constant property. Use this to cast this property to a specific version of plTypedConstantProperty.

Implemented in plAbstractFunctionProperty, plPhantomArrayProperty, plPhantomConstantProperty, plPhantomMapProperty, plPhantomMemberProperty, plPhantomSetProperty, plTypedArrayProperty< Type >, plTypedArrayProperty< const char * >, plTypedArrayProperty< plTypeTraits< Type >::NonConstReferenceType >, plTypedConstantProperty< Type >, plTypedEnumProperty< EnumType >, plTypedMapProperty< Type >, plTypedMapProperty< plTypeTraits< Type >::NonConstReferenceType >, plTypedMemberProperty< Type >, plTypedMemberProperty< const char * >, plTypedMemberProperty< plColor >, plTypedMemberProperty< plColorGammaUB >, plTypedMemberProperty< plTypeTraits< Type >::NonConstReferenceType >, plTypedSetProperty< Type >, plTypedSetProperty< const char * >, plTypedSetProperty< plTypeTraits< const char * >::NonConstReferenceType >, and plTypedSetProperty< plTypeTraits< Type >::NonConstReferenceType >.
