DESCRIPTION

Overview

This class is a generic representation of the UI widget tree. The class is using the WidgetController class to communicate with the REST-Server and is providing methods to create 'handles' for the various UI elements (buttons, checkboxes, text etc.).

Class and object methods

Class attributes:

{api_version} - The version of the YUI Rest API
{host} - The hostname or IP of the REST server
{port} - The port of the REST server
{timeout} - The timeout for communication with the server
{interval} - Interval time to try to reach the server
{widget_controller} - The instance of the widget controller to communicate with the server

Class methods:

A: Methods for communicating with the REST server

new(%args) - create new app

The argument %args is a hash of named parameters {port}, {host}, {api_version}, {timeout} and {interval}. With this the constructor creates a WidgetController.

get_widget_controller() - Get reference to the widget controller assigned to the instance of app.

get_port() - get port used for the communication with the REST server

get_host() - get name or IP address for communication with REST server

check_connection() - checks if connection to REST server is working

B: Methods for creating references to UI objects

All these methods have in common that the method name describes what kind of UI object is referenced. Every method has an argument $filter which describes the identification of the UI element.

button($filter) - creates reference to a button

checkbox($filter) - creates a reference to a checkbox

combobox($filter) - creates a reference to a combobox

itemselector($filter) - creates a reference to an itemselector

label($filter) - creates a reference to a label

menucollection($filter) - creates a reference to a menucollection

radiobutton($filter) - creates a reference to a radiobutton

richttext($filter) - creates a reference to a richtext

selectionbox($filter) - creates a reference to a selectionbox

table($filter) - creates a reference to a table

textbox($filter) - creates a reference to a textbox

tree($filter) - creates a reference to a tree

tab($filter) - creates a reference to a tab
