IDL Object Method Enhancements

The following IDL object classes have enhanced methods in this release. See the following topics in the IDL Reference Guide for complete reference information.

IDLffXMLDOMDocument::Init

STRING specifies a scalar string containing the XML Document text.

IDLffXMLDOMDocument::Load

STRING specifies a scalar string containing the XML Document text.

IDLffXMLDOMDocument::Save

STRING specifies a named variable that will contain the XML string data representing the XML DOM document currently represented in this object.

IDLffXMLSAX::ParseFile

URL specifies that the input value is a Uniform Resource Locator that provides the XML data to be parsed.

XML_STRING specifies that the input value is a string array containing the XML data to be parsed.

IDLgrClipboard::Draw

ISOLATIN1 indicates that the clipboard object should use Adobe ISO Latin 1 font encoding with any font that supports such coding. Use of this keyword allows access to many commonly-used foreign characters. This keyword is ignored if the generated output is not PostScript.

IDLgrWindow::GetDeviceInfo

FRAME_OBJECT_EXTENSION indicates whether the graphics card and OpenGL driver support the GLSL framebuffer_object_extension, which enables filter shader chaining.

MAX_FRAGMENT_UNIFORM_CONSTANT contains the maximum number of components, or storage units, declared by active uniform variables in a fragment shader program.

MAX_TEXTURE_IMAGE_UNITS contains the number of texture units available to the fragment shader program.

MAX_VERTEX_ATTRIBUTES contains the maximum number of positions available for GLSL vertex attribute variables associated with a shader program.

MAX_VERTEX_TEXTURE_IMAGE_UNITS contains the number of texture units available to the vertex shader program.

MAX_VERTEX_UNIFORM_CONSTANTS contains the maximum number of components, or storage units, declared by active uniform variables in a vertex shader program.

SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION contains a string indicating the supported OpenGL shading language (GLSL) version number supported by the system's graphic card.

IDLitComponent::GetProperty

When retrieving the UVALUE property, the NO_COPY keyword specifies that the data contained in the property should be transferred to the specified variable rather than being copied, leaving the UVALUE property itself undefined. The NO_COPY keyword has no effect when retrieving other properties.

IDLitComponent::SetProperty

When setting the UVALUE property, the NO_COPY keyword specifies that the data contained in the specified variable should be transferred to the property rather than being copied, leaving the original variable undefined. The NO_COPY keyword has no effect when setting other properties.

IDLitWindow::AddWindowEventObserver

This method now supports the observation of events generated by the mouse scroll wheel (wheel events).

IDLitWindow::GetEventMask

This method now supports the observation of events generated by the mouse scroll wheel (wheel events).

IDLitWindow::SetEventMask

This method now supports the observation of events generated by the mouse scroll wheel (wheel events).
