Significance of property class

[ritz]

Hi All,

WHile going through the widget's code i ahve seen property classes associated with each control.

I could not get the usage of creating the property class, as all the proeprty objects are kept private in control class.

can any body please give me some more infor to understand it more.

Thanks,
RitZ

The properties are a way of data driving the gui elements.

For example, a ProgressBar may have a Progress property that maps the ascii string "progress" to the actual setting of the element's floating point number. This allows it to be specified in xml files.

I'm not sure of the exact mechanism of this as it looks fairly convoluted (especially having to create a class for each property), but thats the gist of it.

For a brief reference on what's available for XML files in CEGUI, look at the cegui_mk2/XMLRefSchema/ReadMe.txt file.
