Detailed Description

Baseclass for modules in an MLABNetwork.

All scripts contexts in MLAB have a global "context" variable (alias: "ctx") which can be accessed from the script. This context variable always points to an MLABModule, either an MLABMacroModule, MLABMLModule or MLABInventorModule. All methods given in this documentation can be called by:

   ctx.methodName(arg1,arg2,...);

Typical used methods in a module are:

• field()
• connectField()
• disconnectField()
• module()
• control()

Utility functions:

• log()
• networkPath()
• localPath()
• expandFilename()
• unexpandFilename()

Methods concerning windows (panels):

• window()
• closeWindow()
• showWindow()
• showModalDialog()

Less typical methods in a module are:

• addModule()
• addMacroModuleFromString()
• addMacroModuleFromFile()

Member Function Documentation

MLABFieldListener* MLABModule::addFieldListener	(	MLABField *	f,
		const QString &	script,
		bool	init
	)			[slot]

add a field listener to the module at runtime, the field can be any field from any module, the script is executed in the context the module you call this method on

virtual MLABModule* MLABModule::addMacroModuleFromFile

(

const QString &

file

)

[virtual, slot]

adds a new module from a string to the internal network temporarily (this should only be used for application specific macros that should not be visible in the global MLAB database and that are generated on the fly in Scripting, the module is not persistent when you save the network)

virtual MLABModule* MLABModule::addMacroModuleFromString

(

const QString &

string

)

[virtual, slot]

adds a new module from a string to the internal network temporarily (this should only be used for very small macros that are generated on the fly in Scripting, the module is not persistent when you save the network)

virtual MLABModule* MLABModule::addModule

(

const QString &

name

)

[virtual, slot]

adds a new module to the internal network (return null or new module)

the module can be a name from the MLAB database or a local macro (if the module is a local macro module, looks for networkPath() + "name.script")

void MLABModule::addToGroup

(

const QString &

name

)

[slot]

add the module to the given group (if the name does not exist, a new group with that name is created) if the name is empty, the module is moved to the top network level

QStringList MLABModule::callableFunctions

(

)

[slot]

returns a list of callable scripting functions (callable with call())

int MLABModule::callLater	(	double	seconds,
		const QString &	func,
		const QVariantList &	args
	)			[slot]

like call() method but calls after the given number of seconds.

If seconds is 0, it is guaranteed that the call is done AFTER the current event loop

int MLABModule::callLater	(	double	seconds,
		const QString &	func
	)			[slot]

like call() method but calls after the given number of seconds.

If seconds is 0, it is guaranteed that the call is done AFTER the current event loop

int MLABModule::callWithInterval	(	double	seconds,
		const QString &	func
	)			[slot]

virtual void MLABModule::clearCache

(

)

[virtual, slot]

clears the ML cache of all output fields of this module and also of all modules inside of the internal network if it is a macro network

void MLABModule::closeAllWindows

(

)

[slot]

close all windows (you can reshow the windows at the same screen positions by calling reshowClosedWindows)

virtual void MLABModule::closeWindow

(

)

[virtual, slot]

close current window (depending on current window)

QObject* MLABModule::commandHandler

virtual MLABWidgetControl* MLABModule::control

(

const QString &

name

)

[virtual, slot]

searches for control with given name (in current active window, see currentWindowID())

Searches for a control which must be declared in the current active window by the MDL tag "instanceName" (alias: "name"). Note that control() will only return the correct control, if the script code is called from somewhere in the MDL GUI, NOT when you try to call it from commands of the MDL Commands section or from the scripting console.

Example:

      Button {
        title = "Button1"
        name = button1
        command = "*js: var b = ctx.control("button1"); b.setTitle("SomeText");  } *"
      }

When called from a scripting console, the method will automatically use controlDebug() and return the first control it finds with that name in any of the opened windows.

MLABWidgetControl* MLABModule::controlDebug

(

const QString &

name

)

[slot]

like above method, but ignores the current window context and searches through all open window

this method is for debugging in the Scripting console, because control() will not return a control that is not in the correct window context

MLABWindowControl* MLABModule::createBorderlessWindow	(	const QString &	name,
		MLABWindowControl *	parent
	)			[slot]

create a borderless window that is a child of the given window (if window is omitted, it will have no parent) this function can be used to create information windows that are shown/hidden by the application and can not be moved/closed by the user.

Note that the window is not shown after creation, you have to call show() to make it visible and you can use one of the methods of MLABWindowControl to place it at the correct position e.g. move() or moveTo()

void MLABModule::createConnectors

(

)

[slot]

creates the field connectors of the visual by communicating with the module listener.

If the module listener is NULL, nothing is done.

MLABWindowControl* MLABModule::createModalDialog	(	const QString &	name,
		MLABWindowControl *	parent
	)			[slot]

create a modal dialog that is a child of the given window (if window is omitted, it will have no parent) Note that the window is not shown after creation, you have to call MLABWindowControl::exec() on the window to show it (exec() then returns the accept/reject code)

MLABWindowControl* MLABModule::createPopupWindow	(	const QString &	name,
		MLABWindowControl *	parent
	)			[slot]

create a popup window that is a child of the given (if window is omitted, it will have no parent) Note that the window is not shown after creation, you have to call show() to make it visible and you can use one of the methods of MLABWindowControl to place it at the correct position e.g.

move() or moveTo()

Trailing (back-)slashes are removed, if the result is a directory.

This function supports:

• NETWORK - local path of network file this module instance is in
• MLAB_xxx_yyy - where xxx is an existing package group and yyy an existing package name
• DemoDataPath - path for MeVisLab DemoData

and all variables that are given in mevislab.prefs file.

virtual MLABField* MLABModule::field

(

const QString &

name

)

[virtual, slot]

searches for field with given name in dotted notation

Searches the field by its name. The name can be the name of a field in this module, or a field in the internal network of the macro module. If an internal field is accessed, the name is constructed with the module's instanceName, "." and the field name.

Example for a simple module field and an internal field:

      var f1 = ctx.field("somefield");
      var f2 = ctx.field("somemodule.somefield");

See MLABField and its derived classes to learn what methods are available on fields.

You can also access field in the parent module of the current module. And you can go up with "parent:" and go done with "." as you wish. This is an advanced feature and should only be used if really needed because it breaks encapsulation!

Example for a parent module's field:

      var f1 = ctx.field("parent:somefield");
      var f2 = ctx.field("parent:somemodule.somefield");
