Properties #

Properties are what this library is all about. There are a number of property types available to ensure maximum flexiblity.

To use properties, the client class needs to inherit from properties provided by this library:

class shape :
	tct::cppproperties::properties
{
	MAKE_PROPERTY(x, int);
	MAKE_PROPERTY(y, int);
}

Note that a property type needs to be registered before it can be used. See types for more information.

The following types of properties are available:

• Raw properties: This is the most common form of a property. Use this if you want to use a regular member variable as a property.
• Nested properties: Allows to created nested property structures when inheriting from a base class also defining properties.
• Linked properties: Linked properties are used when public or protected member variables of a base class should become properties.
• Linked property functions: Allows to use private members variables of a base class as properties.
