◆ restoreLabelReference()

subsubname reference
shadowoptional shadow subname reference
See also
exportSubName(), importSubName()

When exporting and importing (i.e. copy and paste) objects into the same document, the new object must be renamed, both the internal name and the label. Therefore, the link reference of the new objects must be corrected accordingly. The basic idea is that when exporting object, all object name references are changed to 'objName@docName', and label references are changed to 'objName@docName@'. During import, MergeDocument will maintain a map from objName@docName to object's new name. Object name reference can be restored on spot by consulting the map, while label reference will be restored later in property's afterRestore() function, which calls this function to do the string parsing.

◆ setAllowExternal()

Enable/disable temporary holding external object without throwing exception.

Warning, non-PropertyXLink related property does not have internal tracking of external objects, therefore the link will not by auto broken when external document is closed. Only use this for temporary case, or if you handle signalDeleteDocument yourself, or use one of the PropertyXLink related property.

◆ tryImport()

App::DocumentObject * PropertyLinkBase::tryImport ( const App::Document doc,
const App::DocumentObject obj,
const std::map< std::string, std::string > &  nameMap 
)
static

Helper function for link import operation.

Parameters
docowner document of the imported objects
objthe linked object
nameMapa name map from source object to its imported counter part
Returns
Return the imported object if found, or the input obj if no change.
See also
tryImportSubNames

This function searches for the name map and tries to find the imported object from the given source object.

Referenced by App::PropertyLinkSub::CopyOnImportExternal(), App::PropertyLinkSubList::CopyOnImportExternal(), and App::PropertyXLink::CopyOnImportExternal().

◆ tryImportSubName()

std::string PropertyLinkBase::tryImportSubName ( const App::DocumentObject obj,
const char *  sub,
const App::Document doc,
const std::map< std::string, std::string > &  nameMap 
)
static

Helper function for link import operation.

Parameters
objthe linked object
subsubname reference
docimporting document
nameMapa name map from source object to its imported counter part
Returns
Return a changed subname reference, or empty string if no change.

Link import operation will go through all link property and imports all externally linked object. After import, the link property must be changed to point to the newly imported objects, which should happen inside the API CopyOnImportExternal(). This function helps to rewrite subname reference to point to the correct sub objects that are imported.

static

Helper functions.

Helper function to check and replace a link

Parameters
ownerthe owner of the current property
objthe current linked object
parentthe parent of the changing link property, may or may not be equal to owner
oldObjthe object to be replaced

◆ updateLabelReference()

std::string PropertyLinkBase::updateLabelReference ( const App::DocumentObject linked,
const char *  subname,

Helper function to update subname reference on label change.

Parameters
linkedlinked object
subnamesubname reference
objthe object that owns the label
reflabel reference in the format of '$<old_label>.', which is the format used in subname reference for label reference. This parameter is provided for easy search of label reference.
newLabelnew label
Returns
Returns an updated subname reference, or empty string if no change.

This function helps to update subname reference on label change. It is usually called inside CopyOnLabelChange(), the API for handling label change, which is called just before label change. In other word, when called, the sub object can still be reached using the original label references, but not the new labels.
