Class GuiReprValue.ObjectSpecifier

java.lang.Object
org.autogui.base.mapping.GuiReprValue.ObjectSpecifier
Direct Known Subclasses:
GuiReprValue.ObjectSpecifierIndex, GuiReprValue.ObjectSpecifierNothing
Enclosing class:
GuiReprValue
public static class GuiReprValue.ObjectSpecifier extends Object
an auxiliary information for specifying a property value. An typical example is an index of a list.

For regular properties, GuiReprValue.NONE is sufficient.

However, consider a list property, like 

       class A { List<B> prop1; }
       class B { List<C> prop2; }
       class C { String prop3; }
To specify a value of prop3 from the top A, we can write a.prop1.get(i).prop2.get(j).prop3.

This class represents the expression of the property chain with indices: NONE.childIndex(i).child(false).childIndex(j).child(false)
