GH_ParamT Methods

The GH_ParamT generic type exposes the following members.

Methods
  NameDescription
Public methodAddedToDocument
This method will be called when an object is added to a document. Override this method if you want to handle such events.
(Inherited from GH_DocumentObject.)
Public methodAddRuntimeMessage
Add a new message to this object. Valid message type flags are Warning and Error. If the Message string is empty or zero-length no message is added.
(Inherited from GH_ActiveObject.)
Public methodAddSource(IGH_Param)
Append a new Source parameter to the end of the Sources list. Sources provide this parameter with data at runtime.
Public methodAddSource(IGH_Param, Int32)
Insert a new Source parameter into the Sources list. Sources provide this parameter with data at runtime.
Public methodAddVolatileData(GH_Path, Int32, T)
Public methodAddVolatileData(GH_Path, Int32, Object)
Inserts an item of volatile data into the data structure.
Public methodAddVolatileDataList(GH_Path, ListT)
Public methodAddVolatileDataList(GH_Path, IEnumerable)
Public methodAddVolatileDataTree(GH_StructureT)
Public methodAddVolatileDataTree(IGH_Structure)
Public methodAppendAdditionalMenuItems
Override this function if you want to add specific items to the object context menu Default items already included in the menu toolstrip are: 1. Name 2. Preview 3. Warnings 4. Errors
(Overrides GH_ActiveObjectAppendAdditionalMenuItems(ToolStripDropDown).)
Public methodAppendMenuItems
This function is called when a context menu is about to be displayed. Override it to set custom items. GH_ActiveObject will already populate the menu with default items, if you merely wish to insert object-specific menu item, consider overriding AppendAdditionalMenuItems instead.
(Inherited from GH_ActiveObject.)
Protected methodCast_Object
Attempts to convert the Object reference into an instance of T. This method will perform a direct cast if possible or it will call Casting functions on T or Data if they exist. Data will not be duplicated unless a type conversion is required.
Public methodClearData (Overrides GH_ActiveObjectClearData.)
Public methodClearProxySources
Remove all proxy sources without attempting to relink them.
Public methodClearRuntimeMessages
Destroy all warning and error lists
(Inherited from GH_ActiveObject.)
Public methodCollectData (Overrides GH_ActiveObjectCollectData.)
Protected methodCollectVolatileData_Custom
If a parameter has no sources, the CollectVolatileData_Custom() method is called. The basic implementation does nothing, but you can override this method to provide special data instantiation logic.
Protected methodCollectVolatileData_FromSources
This method collects volatile data from all the source parameters.
Public methodComputeData (Overrides GH_ActiveObjectComputeData.)
Protected methodConversionCallback
This method is called whenever a successful conversion takes place from some source data into local target data. Override it if you wish to keep tabs on conversions.
Public methodCopyFrom
Copy all fields (except the instance ID) from another instance description.
(Inherited from GH_InstanceDescription.)
Public methodCreateAttributes (Overrides GH_DocumentObjectCreateAttributes.)
Public methodCreateProxySources
Convert all proper source parameters into proxy sources.
Public methodDependsOn (Overrides GH_ActiveObjectDependsOn(IGH_ActiveObject).)
Protected methodDestroyIconCache
Call this method to erase the existing icon cache. You must call this if you want to change the display icon of an object.
(Inherited from GH_DocumentObject.)
Public methodDocumentContextChanged
This method will be called when the document that owns this object moves into a different context.
(Inherited from GH_DocumentObject.)
Protected methodExpireDownStreamObjects (Overrides GH_ActiveObjectExpireDownStreamObjects.)
Public methodExpirePreview
Call this function when you suspect that the preview has expired for this object. This will cause the display cache to be eradicated.
(Inherited from GH_DocumentObject.)
Public methodExpireSolution
Informs the document that owns this object that the solution has expired. The current object will be set to BLANK as a result. This method is recursive, it will also expire any and all objects which depend on this object. If you want a less destructive expiration, consider using ClearData(). If this object is already Blank, you should consider not expiring it.
(Inherited from GH_ActiveObject.)
Public methodExpireSolutionTopLevel
Invoke the Expiresolution(bool) method on the toplevel object.
Protected methodFormat
Returns "Null" if the data is a null reference, otherwise calls ToString() on the Data instance.

Get an integer value from the component value table.
(Inherited from GH_DocumentObject.)
Protected methodGetValue(String, String)
Get a string value from the component value table.
(Inherited from GH_DocumentObject.)

Protected methodOnVolatileDataCollected
Once volatile data has been collected this method will be calles. The basic implementation does nothing, but you can add code here to post-process or analyze the volatile data.
Protected methodPreferredCast

Protected methodPreview_ComputeClippingBox
This function can be used to iterate over all items in the Volatile data tree and collect the union clipping box of all non-null items that implement Preview.IGH_PreviewData. This function requires a lot of TypeOf and DirectCasting, so if you're worried about performance you should consider doing this yourself.
Protected methodPreview_DrawMeshes
This function can be used to iterate over all items in the Volatile data tree and call DrawViewportWires on each item that implements Preview.IGH_PreviewData. This function requires a lot of TypeOf and DirectCasting, so if you're worried about performance you should consider doing this yourself.
Protected methodPreview_DrawWires
This function can be used to iterate over all items in the Volatile data tree and call DrawViewportWires on each item that implements Preview.IGH_PreviewData. This function requires a lot of TypeOf and DirectCasting, so if you're worried about performance you should consider doing this yourself.
Public methodRead (Overrides GH_ActiveObjectRead(GH_IReader).)

(Inherited from GH_DocumentObject.)
Public methodRecordUndoEvent(String)
Record a generic object change undo event.

Public methodRemovedFromDocument
This method will be called when an object is removed from a document. Override this method if you want to handle such events.
