Properties
  NameDescription
Public propertyAttributes
Gets or sets the attributes that are associated with this object. Only set custom attributes if you know what you are doing.
Public propertyCategory
Gets or sets the Category in which this object belongs. If HasCategory() returns false, this field has no meaning.
(Inherited from GH_InstanceDescription.)
Public propertyComponentGuid
Returns a consistent ID for this object type. Every object must supply a unique and unchanging ID that is used to identify objects of the same type.
Public propertyDescription
Gets or sets the description of the object. This field typically remains fixed during the lifetime of an object.
(Inherited from GH_InstanceDescription.)
Public propertyExposure
Gets the exposure of this object in the Graphical User Interface. The default is to expose everywhere.
Public propertyHasCategory
Gets whether or not the Category field has been set.
(Inherited from GH_InstanceDescription.)
Public propertyHasSubCategory
Gets whether or not the SubCategory field has been set.
(Inherited from GH_InstanceDescription.)
Protected propertyIcon
Override this function to supply a custom icon (24x24 pixels). The result of this property is cached, so don't worry if icon retrieval is not very fast.
Public propertyIcon_24x24
The icon associated with this object.
Public propertyIcon_24x24_Locked
The greyscale icon of this object.
Public propertyIconDisplayMode
Gets the current display mode of the object.
Public propertyInstanceDescription
Gets a description of the current state of the object. This field is usually the same as the Description() field, but it might be variable when overridden.
(Inherited from GH_InstanceDescription.)
Public propertyInstanceGuid
Gets the ID of this runtime instance.
(Inherited from GH_InstanceDescription.)
Public propertyKeywords
Gets a list of additional keywords that describe the object. Typically this list is empty but you can override this property to aid in object searches.
(Inherited from GH_InstanceDescription.)
Public propertyName
Gets or sets the name of the object. This field typically remains fixed during the lifetime of an object.
(Inherited from GH_InstanceDescription.)
Public propertyNickName
Gets or sets the nickname of the object. This field can be changed by the user.
(Inherited from GH_InstanceDescription.)
Public propertyObsolete
Gets whether this object is obsolete. Default implementation returns true if the class name contains the string "OBSOLETE" or if this class has been decorated with the ObsoleteAttribute. You are free to override this if you want, but I suggest adding the ObsoleteAttribute instead.
Public propertySubCategory
Gets or sets the SubCategory in which this object belongs. If HasSubCategory() returns false, this field has no meaning.
(Inherited from GH_InstanceDescription.)

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.
Public methodAppendMenuItems
This function is called when a context menu is about to be displayed. Override it to set custom items.
Public methodCopyFrom
Copy all fields (except the instance ID) from another instance description.
(Inherited from GH_InstanceDescription.)
Public methodCreateAttributes
This function creates the stand-alone attributes for this object. If you wish to supply your own Attributes, you must override this function.
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.
Public methodDocumentContextChanged
This method will be called when the document that owns this object moves into a different context.
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.
Public methodExpireSolution
Call this function whenever you do something which expires the current solution. This will make sure all caches are erased, all downstream objects are expired and that the event is raised. The default implementation merely places a call to OnSolutionExpired(), override this function in derived classes to make sure you clear local data caches and expire downstream objects.
Protected methodGetValue(String, Boolean)
Get a boolean value from the component value table.
Protected methodGetValue(String, Double)
Get a double value from the component value table.
Protected methodGetValue(String, Color)
Get a color value from the component value table.
Protected methodGetValue(String, Int32)
Get an integer value from the component value table.
Protected methodGetValue(String, String)
Get a string value from the component value table.
Protected methodHtmlHelp_Source
Return a String which contains HTML formatted source for the help topic. If you want to pass a URL that points to a remote page, then prefix the URL with a GOTO: tag, like so: GOTO:http://www.YourWebAddressHere.com
