virtual void CEGUI::ScriptModule::createBindings ( void )

inlinevirtual

Method called during system initialisation, prior to running any scripts via the ScriptModule, to enable the ScriptModule to perform any operations required to complete initialisation or binding of the script language to the gui system objects.

Returns: Nothing.

Reimplemented in CEGUI::LuaScriptModule.

virtual void CEGUI::ScriptModule::destroyBindings ( void )

inlinevirtual

Method called during system destruction, after all scripts have been run via the ScriptModule, to enable the ScriptModule to perform any operations required to cleanup bindings of the script language to the gui system objects, as set-up in the earlier createBindings call.

Returns: Nothing.

Reimplemented in CEGUI::LuaScriptModule.

virtual bool CEGUI::ScriptModule::executeScriptedEventHandler	(	const String &	handler_name,
		const EventArgs &	e
	)

pure virtual

Execute a scripted global 'event handler' function. The function should take some kind of EventArgs like parameter that the concrete implementation of this function can create from the passed EventArgs based object. The function should not return anything.

Parameters

handler_name	String object holding the name of the scripted handler function.
e	EventArgs based object that should be passed, by any appropriate means, to the scripted function.

Returns

true if the event was handled.
false if the event was not handled.

Implemented in CEGUI::LuaScriptModule.

virtual void CEGUI::ScriptModule::executeScriptFile	(	const String &	filename,
		const String &	resourceGroup = `""`
	)

pure virtual

Execute a script file.

Parameters

filename	String object holding the filename of the script file that is to be executed
resourceGroup	Resource group idendifier to be passed to the ResourceProvider when loading the script file.

Implemented in CEGUI::LuaScriptModule.

virtual int CEGUI::ScriptModule::executeScriptGlobal ( const String & function_name )

pure virtual

Execute a scripted global function. The function should not take any parameters and should return an integer.

Parameters

function_name String object holding the name of the function, in the global script environment, that is to be executed.

Returns: The integer value returned from the script function.

Implemented in CEGUI::LuaScriptModule.

virtual void CEGUI::ScriptModule::executeString ( const String & str )

pure virtual

Execute script code contained in the given CEGUI::String object.

Parameters

str	String object holding the valid script code that should be executed.

Returns: Nothing.

Implemented in CEGUI::LuaScriptModule.

static const String& CEGUI::ScriptModule::getDefaultResourceGroup ( )

inlinestatic

Returns the default resource group used when loading script files.

Returns: String describing the default resource group identifier..

const String& CEGUI::ScriptModule::getIdentifierString ( ) const

Return identification string for the ScriptModule. If the internal id string has not been set by the ScriptModule creator, a generic string of "Unknown scripting module" will be returned.

Returns: String object holding a string that identifies the ScriptModule in use.

static void CEGUI::ScriptModule::setDefaultResourceGroup ( const String & resourceGroup )

inlinestatic

Sets the default resource group to be used when loading script files.

Parameters

resourceGroup String describing the default resource group identifier to be used.

Returns: Nothing.

virtual Event::Connection CEGUI::ScriptModule::subscribeEvent	(	EventSet *	target,
		const String &	name,
		const String &	subscriber_name
	)

pure virtual

Subscribes the named Event to a scripted funtion.

Parameters

target	The target EventSet for the subscription.
name	String object containing the name of the Event to subscribe to.
subscriber_name	String object containing the name of the script funtion that is to be subscribed to the Event.

Returns: Connection object that can be used to check the status of the Event connection and to disconnect (unsubscribe) from the Event.

Exceptions

UnknownObjectException Thrown if an Event named name is not in the EventSet

Implemented in CEGUI::LuaScriptModule.

virtual Event::Connection CEGUI::ScriptModule::subscribeEvent	(	EventSet *	target,
		const String &	name,
		Event::Group	group,
		const String &	subscriber_name
	)

pure virtual

Subscribes the specified group of the named Event to a scripted funtion.

Parameters

target	The target EventSet for the subscription.
name	String object containing the name of the Event to subscribe to.
group	Group which is to be subscribed to. Subscription groups are called in ascending order.
subscriber_name	String object containing the name of the script funtion that is to be subscribed to the Event.

Returns: Connection object that can be used to check the status of the Event connection and to disconnect (unsubscribe) from the Event.

Exceptions

UnknownObjectException Thrown if an Event named name is not in the EventSet

Implemented in CEGUI::LuaScriptModule.
