GH_DocumentObject Methods

The GH_DocumentObject 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.
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.
