Class vdBaseObject

Namespace: VectorDraw.Professional.vdObjects

Assembly: VectorDraw.Professional.dll

This is the Base object that the most Vectordraw.Professional objects are inherited from.

public abstract class vdBaseObject : BaseObject, IDisposable, IVDSerialise, IBaseObject

Remarks

vdBaseObject serves as the foundational class for most VectorDraw objects and provides essential functionality for:

Document registration and management
Owner hierarchy tracking
Event handling for object modifications
Undo/Redo history support
Serialization/Deserialization
Unit conversion (linear and angular)

This is an abstract class and cannot be instantiated directly. Instead, create instances of derived classes. When an object is added to a document collection, it becomes document-registered and can participate in undo/redo operations.

Constructors

vdBaseObject(): The constructor of the vdBase object where the default initialization is commited.

Properties

DocProperties: This Interface is used to pass Document's properties to the Actions dll.

Document: Gets the vdDocument that the object belongs.

IsDocumentRegister: Represents if the object is Registered in a Document.

Owner: Gets the object that belongs to.

SupportUndoWrite: Returns true if object can write to Undo.If it is return false object properties are save to UndoHistory.By default return true.

UndoHistory: Gets the Undo History object.

_TypeName: Gets a unique string that represents the type of the object.

aunits: Get/Set the Angular Units of the object.

lunits: Get/Set the Linear Units of the object.

Methods

AddHistory(string, object): Adds To the Undo History a new Record.

AddHistoryEx(string, object): Adds To the Undo History a new Record.

DeSerialize(DeSerializer, string, object): This Function is called foreach field name of the vdBaseObject object when opening in vdml format.

Dispose(): Releases all resources used by this object.

GetTableDependecies(vdTableDependeciesArgs): Fills the passed vdTableDependeciesArgs args with all the table references of this object (vdLayer, vdBlock, vdDimstyle, vdLineType, vdTextstyle, vdImageDef, vdHatchPattern etc).

InternalSetOwner(vdBaseObject)

Internally used only.

Set the object owner

OnDocumentSelected(vdDocument): This method is called when the object is inserted in a Document for the first time.

OnOwnerChanged(): This method is called when the object's owner is changed.

RaiseOnAfterModify(string): Raises the OnAfterModifyObject Event of vdDocument object and OnAfterModifyObjectEx event of this object.

RaiseOnBeforeModify(string, object): Raises the OnBeforeModifyObject Event of vdDocument object.

Register(): Register the object handle in to its Document handle table.

Serialize(Serializer): This Function is called when saving the object to vdml format.

SetUnRegisterDocument(vdDocument): Select the vdDocument that the object belongs to.The object is marked as DocumentUnregistered.

ToString(): Returns a System.String that represents the type of the vdBaseObject.

Events

OnAfterModifyObjectEx: Fires after a change to a property of the object.

OnBeforeModifyObjectEx: Fires before a change to a property of the object.
