SilverSharp.BLOCK_NODE

Structure

A SilverSharp.BLOCK_NODE is an entity-level data type that is used to store information about SilverScreen blocks.

C# Code

class BLOCK_NODE sealed : BOS_NODE

{

BLOCK_NODE(BLOCK_NODE rhs);

BLOCK_NODE(string block_path);

property BOS_NODE first_bos { get; }

property TAG_NODE first_tag { get; }

property SCHEMA_NODE first_schema { get; }

property TagList Tags { get; }

property BosList Children { get; }

property BosList Parents { get; }

property SchemaList Schemas { get; }

BOS_NODE FindChild(string name);

};

Properties

The following read-only properties mimic the purpose of their counter-parts in the SilverC BLOCK_NODE:

Member	Description
first_bos	A reference to the first child entity of the block. SilverSharp programmers may prefer using the Children enumerator
first_tag	A reference to the first TAG_NODE of the block. SilverSharp programmers may prefer using the Tags enumerator.
first_schema	A reference to the first SCHEMA_NODE of the block. SilverSharp programmers may prefer using the Schemas enumerator.

The following read-only properties extend BLOCK_NODE for SilverSharp:

Name	Description
Tags	Enumerates all TAG_NODE objects belonging to the block entity
Children	Enumerates all BOS_NODE entities belonging to the block entity
Parents	Enumerates all BOS_NODE block entities that contain the block entity
Schemas	Enumerates all SCHEMA_NODE objects belonging to the block entity

Methods

Name	Description
BLOCK_NODE	Constructors to initialize the object
FindChild	Locates an immediate child of the block by name

Remarks

A SilverSharp.BLOCK_NODE inherits from a SilverSharp.BOS_NODE and therefore includes those properties and methods as well; for instance, Path, Type, and bits1 are inherited properties of a SilverSharp.BOS_NODE.

Note: A SilverSharp.BLOCK_NODE is a SilverSharp.BOS_NODE, but the reverse is not true.
