ObjectLoader Class

The class ObjectLoader contains methods to load objects from eva/3 Application Builder components.

Load a named color as java.awt.Color object

The method Color getColor(String colorName) return the named color as Color Objekt, whereas the argument colorName defines the color name.

Example:

try{    
    // Read the color Hintergrund and return java.awt.Color
    Color color = ObjectLoader.getColor("Hintergrund"); 
} catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Load a form as SFrame and accessing its components

The method SFrame getSFrame(String name) returns the form named in the argument name as SFrame. It does not care if the form is opened. With the SFrame, the access to its components is possible.

Example:

try{
            // ObjectLoader gets the form Auswahl and returns as SFrame
            SFrame sFrame = (SFrame) ObjectLoader.getSFrame("test1.form");
            // Load the SFrame
            sFrame.afterLoading();
            // Get the button with the name SButton from the form
            SButton button = (SButton) sFrame.getObject("SButton");
            // Get the panel which contains the toolbar- and the mainpanel
            SPane sPane = (SPane) sFrame.getSPane();
            // Get the ToolbarPanel
            ToolBarPanel toolbarPanel = sPane.getToolBarPanel();
            // Get the MainPanel
            MainPanel mainPanel = sPane.getMainPanel();
            // Get the MiddlePanel
            MiddlePanel middlePanel = mainPanel.getMiddlePanel();
            // Get the SidePanel
            SidePanel sidePanel = mainPanel.getSidePanel();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

Executing Macros

The class method getMacro (String name) of the ObjectLoader returns a macro. The parameter name is the project relative path of the macro file. Calling the method execute (String [] s) of the macro object excutes the macro. The parameter s are the arguments for the macro.

Beispiel:

String objectName = "macro/PrintParams.macro";
Macro macro = null;
try {
    macro = ObjectLoader.getMacro(objectName);
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
} catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
String macroParams[] = { "par1", "par2" };
macro.execute(macroParams);
