SyntaxC#
public abstract class AbstractHermeticGUIControl : IRenderableGUIControl
The AbstractHermeticGUIControl type exposes the following members.
Constructors| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | AbstractHermeticGUIControl | Creates a control, bound to a member. |
Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| GetMemberType | Returns the type of the member value. |
| GetMemberValueT | Get the value from the controlled member. |
 | RenderControl | Renders the control in GUI and handles all the interactions. |
| SetMemberValueT | Sets value to the controlled member. |
| UpdateMemberInstance | Calls the customized update method. |
Remarks
This kind of controls are used to represent and/or edit the values of various types, but not in
the usual OnGUI approach. The usual Unity approach assumes that the value is passed and
returned in each rendering call. However, for the hermetic control, the source of the value is
defined only once, at the creation time. Once it's done, the rendering is only called to have
the logic handled. That said, the caller rendering method doesn't care about the underlying
data, and that's why it's "hermetic".
The value source is either a field or a property of the class. Due to the need of using reflections to access the member, these controls are not performance optimized. They are fine for the debugging and settings dialogs, but for the performance demanding applications a regular Unity approach is suggested.
