Class LOV
- All Implemented Interfaces:
JdapiObject
In some cases, using methods on this class may result in a
JdapiIllegalStateException being thrown. When this happens, you are using
an object that refers to a Forms object that has been deleted - your
reference is no longer valid. You can check if an instance of this
class is valid by using the isValidFormsObject()
method.
If you code correctly, this should not happen. It will tend to happen
if you keep references (for extended periods) to Forms objects rather
than look them up dynamically. Of course you will only have this
problem if you destroy Forms objects.

myBaseObject = Jdapi.getObject(myPointer);

clone
Creates a clone of the specified object, creating a new object with the given name and owner. For example, given a Block in Form A, you can clone it into Form B by passing Form B in theparent
parameter, and specifying a new name for the block in thenewName
parameter.The new object is the same as the original object in that it has the same property values. However, subclassing information is discarded, and the inherited property values "flattened" into local values in the new object.
It is your reponsibility to pass in an appropriate parent object. If you do not do this, you will probably get a
JdapiException
runtime exception. If possible, use the type safe clone method that is provided on each Forms object class.- Specified by:
clone
in interfaceJdapiObject
- Parameters:
parent
- owner of the new object.newName
- name of the new object.- Returns:
- the clone of the object.
-
changeOwner
Assigns a new owner to the referred object. This method will cause any previous owner to relinquish its ownership of the referred object.Set
newOwner
to null if you want the object to have no owner.The only restriction on this method is that the new owner must be in the same module as the referred object. If you attempt to assign a new owner that is in a different module, then a
JdapiException
will be thrown.Note: If you want to assign the object to a new owner in a different module, then you will have to clone or subclass the object.
- Specified by:
changeOwner
in interfaceJdapiObject
- Parameters:
newOwner
- the new owner of referred object; specify null if you want the object to have no owner.- Throws:
JdapiException
- ifnewOwner
is in a different module.
-
toString
Converts and returns the object properties to string format. This is useful for debugging purposes. The string is in the format: NAME(CLASSNAME, pointer: D2FOB*, context D2FCTX*)- Specified by:
toString
in interfaceJdapiObject
- Overrides:
toString
in classObject
- Returns:
- String representation of the object
-
clearObjectPointer
protected void clearObjectPointer()Used internally to flag this object as an invalid object. -
isValidFormsObject
public boolean isValidFormsObject()Description copied from interface:JdapiObject
Determines whether this Java instance references a valid Forms object.For example, assume that you have a reference to a block. If you call
destroy()
on its owning module, then the module and all of its blocks should be deleted from memory. The reference that you have no longer refers to a valid Forms object. A call toisValidFormsObject()
on the block should returnfalse
.- Specified by:
isValidFormsObject
in interfaceJdapiObject
- Returns:
true
if the instance references a valid forms object;false
otherwise.
-
destroy
public void destroy()Destroys the object - this removes the object from it's context. The JNI level is responsible for removing this object from the context cache, so we don't need to do that in here.- Specified by:
destroy
in interfaceJdapiObject
-
move
Reorders an object with respect to its siblings in the collection it belongs to. This is similar to using drag and drop in Form Builder to move a block in a list. This method represents a way to do the same thing programmatically. For example, if you want a block appear immediately before Block5 in a list, you pass the object representing Block5 as thenextObject
argument.Pass null to this method to move the object to the end of the list. If the specified object and the next_object do not share the same owner, or do not have the same type, the method throws an exception.
You cannot use this method to move objects between parents. For example, it cannot be used to move an Item from one Block to another. If you want to move an object from one parent to another you will have to do something like:
// e.g. to move 'itmA' to be positioned before 'itmB' in block // 'blkB' (when 'itmA' is in another block) // copy itmA into a new parent (blkB) using same name Item newItmA = itmA.clone(blkB, itmA.getName()); newItmA.move(itmB); // move new item relative to itmB itmA.destroy(); // delete original object itmA = newItmA;
- Specified by:
move
in interfaceJdapiObject
- Parameters:
next
- the object next to which the specified object is to be moved.- Throws:
JdapiException
- if you attempt to move an object next to an object that does not share the same owner or is not of the samme type.

TranslationTable
object only. For a given property ID it retrieves the integer that indexes the string property in the table for the current language.- Specified by:
getStringIDProperty
in interfaceJdapiObject
- Parameters:
propertyTypeId
- property type ID for which a String ID value is returned.- Returns:
- the integer String ID property value.
-
getPropertyValueName
Description copied from interface:JdapiObject
Gets the string representation of a given property's value.- Specified by:
getPropertyValueName
in interfaceJdapiObject
- Parameters:
propertyTypeId
- Property numberval
- Value of property- Returns:
- String representation
-
getIntegerPropertyString
Description copied from interface:JdapiObject
Gets a numeric (long
) property value's text representation.- Specified by:
getIntegerPropertyString
in interfaceJdapiObject
- Parameters:
propertyTypeId
- Number identifying the property- Returns:
- Property's text representation
-
getObjProp
protected long getObjProp(int propertyTypeId) Internal method used to get an object property value. This only really gets the C pointer to the Forms object. You must then use theContextCache
to lookup/instantiate the Java representation of the object.- Parameters:
propertyTypeId
- Number identifying the property- Returns:
- Property's value
- See Also:
-
ContextCache
JdapiObject.getObjectProperty(int)
-
getObjectProperty
Description copied from interface:JdapiObject
Retrieves aJdapiObject
property from the referred object. For example, if you pass the integerpropertyTypeId
for an Item in a Block to this method, it returns the Item.- Specified by:
getObjectProperty
in interfaceJdapiObject
- Parameters:
propertyTypeId
- property type ID for which a JdapiObject value is returned.- Returns:
- the JdapiObject property value.
-
getChildObjectProperty
Description copied from interface:JdapiObject
Retrieves child objects for a given property value. Implicit in this method is the idea of an ownership relationship between objects. Items are clearly owned by a Block. If you delete the Block, then its Items are deleted. On the other hand, Items can appear on a Canvas. If you delete the Canvas, however, the Items are not deleted. Thus, the method returns an iterator over Items if it is passed a Block. In contrast, if it is passed a Canvas, it should not return an iterator over Items.For example:
... // get the actual values for the current child object type, // for example, get the Items on a Block iter = jo.getChildObjectProperty(prop.getPropertyId()); ...
Note, it should be (slightly) faster to call the specific method on the object, for examplegetBlocks()
on the FormModule, as it involves fewer API calls. However,getChildObjectProperty
should be sufficient if you only have apropertyTypeId
available.This method also differs from the direct accessors in that null is returned if there are no objects, not an empty iterator.
- Specified by:
getChildObjectProperty
in interfaceJdapiObject
- Parameters:
propertyTypeId
- number identifying the child object property.- Returns:
- Iterator for child objects, can return null if there are no child objects.
