GH_PersistentGeometryParamT Methods

The GH_PersistentGeometryParamT 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.
(Inherited from GH_ParamT.)
Public methodAddSource(IGH_Param, Int32)
Insert a new Source parameter into the Sources list. Sources provide this parameter with data at runtime.
(Inherited from GH_ParamT.)
Public methodAddVolatileData(GH_Path, Int32, Object)
Inserts an item of volatile data into the data structure.
(Inherited from GH_ParamT.)
Public methodAddVolatileDataList(GH_Path, ListT) (Inherited from GH_ParamT.)

(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.
