| RE: [cdt-dev] Default value for stringList |
|
Hi Chris, We actually need to
clarify the meaning of the default value attribute. While my recent talk with
Leo we talked about the difference between the “value” and the “defaultValue”
attributes and he mentioned that the intention of the default value attribute is
to specify the option default. In case the option value equals to its default,
it is not added to the command line. According to this
approach, specifying a listOptionValue without builtIn=true will force the value
to be included in the command line, that might not be a user intension. This is
why specifying values as built-in might be more correct. On the other hand, the
default option value facility is not currently used by the MBS. No check is
made for whether the option value equals to its default or not while command
line generation, etc. We must make some
clarifications/modifications regarding this to make MBS grammar and API more
consistent. Regards, Mikhail From:

quite true. While the “default” attribute is not used, if you
specify a listOptionValue for one of these types in the extension markup, it
will be used to populate the default value of the option. In your example
below, if you didn’t specify builtIn=true, then the values would appear
in the GUI and be editable by the user. ___________________________________________ Chris Recoskie Software Designer http://eclipse.org/cdt From:
cdt-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:cdt-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sennikovsky, Mikhail Hi Aparna, There is no way to
mention default values for the list-type options using MBS syntax, but there is
a possibility to specify built-in values, e.g.
<option
name="Include Paths"
command="-I"
browseType="directory"
valueType="includePath"
id="sub.tool.opt.inc.paths">
<listOptionValue
value="/usr/gnu/include"
builtIn="true">
</listOptionValue>
</option> Do you need to specify
default list-type values or built-ins? Note: I suppose you
should be able to specify default values for the list-type options
programmatically, e.g. using value handler mechanism. What type of exception do
you get when trying to set the default value from your value handler call-back? Regards, Mikhail From:
cdt-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:cdt-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Aparna Argade Hi, As per MBS model, stringList/ definedSymbols or
similar special types do not use default value. I tried to set value through
valueHandler class also, but there also exception occurs. Is there any way to mention default value for a
stringList or definedSymbols? Regards, Aparna |
