Command

public class CreateDataInStructureBackgroundCmd
extends BackgroundCommand

Background command to create data across a selection inside of a structure.

Constructor Summary

Constructor	Description
CreateDataInStructureBackgroundCmd(Address addr, int[] startPath, int length, DataType dt)	Constructs a command for applying dataTypes within an existing structure across a range of components.
CreateDataInStructureBackgroundCmd(Address addr, int[] startPath, int length, DataType dt, boolean stackPointers)	This is the same as CreateDataInStructureBackgroundCmd(Address, int[], int, DataType ) except that it allows the caller to control whether or not a pointer data type is created when a non-pointer data type is applied at a location that previously contained a pointer data type.

Constructor Detail

CreateDataInStructureBackgroundCmd

public CreateDataInStructureBackgroundCmd(Address addr,
                                          int[] startPath,
                                          int length,
                                          DataType dt)

Constructs a command for applying dataTypes within an existing structure across a range of components. Simple pointer conversion will NOT be performed.

Parameters:

addr - The address of the existing structure.

startPath - the componentPath where to begin applying the datatype.

length - the number of bytes to apply the data type to.

dt - the datatype to be applied to the range of components.

CreateDataInStructureBackgroundCmd

public CreateDataInStructureBackgroundCmd(Address addr,
                                          int[] startPath,
                                          int length,
                                          DataType dt,
                                          boolean stackPointers)

This is the same as CreateDataInStructureBackgroundCmd(Address, int[], int, DataType ) except that it allows the caller to control whether or not a pointer data type is created when a non-pointer data type is applied at a location that previously contained a pointer data type.

Parameters:

addr - The address of the existing structure.

startPath - the componentPath where to begin applying the datatype.

length - the number of bytes to apply the data type to.

dt - the datatype to be applied to the range of components.

stackPointers - True will convert the given data type to a pointer if it is not one and the previous type was a pointer; false will not make this conversion

Method Detail

applyTo

public boolean applyTo(DomainObject obj,
                       TaskMonitor monitor)

Description copied from class: BackgroundCommand

Method called when this command is to apply changes to the given domain object. A monitor is provided to display status information about the command as it executes in the background.

Specified by:

applyTo in class BackgroundCommand

Parameters:

obj - domain object that will be affected by the command

monitor - monitor to show progress of the command

Returns:

true if the command applied successfully
