IDLitDataContainer

Superclasses | Creation | Properties | Methods | Examples | Version History

The IDLitDataContainer class is used to store collections of IDLitData and IDLitDataContainer objects to form hierarchical data structures. Objects can be added to and removed from an IDLitDataContainer at any time, allowing for the dynamic creation of composite data types.

Objects stored in an IDLitDataContainer hierarchy are referenced using iTool object identifiers. Object identifiers are simple scalar strings assigned to the IDENTIFIER property of an object when it is created. For a complete discussion of object identifiers and their role in the iTool system, see iTool Object Identifiers (iTool Developer's Guide).

This class is written in the IDL language. Its source code can be found in the file idlitdatacontainer__define.pro in the lib/itool/framework subdirectory of the IDL distribution.
