Attributes are handled through the common get_ATTR(), set_ATTR() style accessors.

context = Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Context [mandatory]

The Context this proxy belongs to.

object = Object instance | CODEREF

The application object itself or a code reference, which returns the object instance.

name = SCALAR [mandatory]

The Context wide unique name of this Proxy.

set_prefix = SCALAR [optional]

This is the method prefix for write accessors. Defaults to set_.

get_prefix = SCALAR [optional]

This is the method prefix for read accessors. Defaults to get_.

attr_accessors_href = HASHREF [optional]

With this hash you can override specific accessors with a code reference, which is called instead of the object's own accessor.

Refer to Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Context->add_object for details.

attr_activity_href = HASHREF [optional]

This hash defines callbacks for attributes which return the activity state of the corresonding attribute.

Refer to Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Context->add_object for details.

aggregated_by = "object.attr" [optional]

Fully qualified attribute of the parent aggregating this object

Refer to Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Context->add_object for details.

changes_attr_filter = REGEX [optional]

Refer to Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Context->add_object for details.

object_changed = BOOLEAN

This flag indicates whether the object represented by this Proxy was changed. You may set this attribute to reset the object's changed state.

$app_object = $proxy->get_object ()

This returns the actual application object of this Proxy, either the statical assigned instance or a dynamicly retrieved instance.

$proxy->set_object ($object)

Changes the application object instance in this Proxy. All dependend Widgets on the GUI are updated accordingly.

$app_object_attr_value = $proxy->get_attr ($attr)

Returns the application object's attribute $attr of this Proxy.

If $attr has the form "object.attr" the attribute of the correspondent object is retreived, instead of the object associated with this proxy.

$proxy->set_attr ($attr => $value)

Changes the application object's attribute $attr to $value and updates all dependend Widgets on the GUI accordingly.

If $attr has the form "object.attr" the correspondent object will be updated, instead of the object associated with this proxy.

$proxy->set_attrs ( { $attr => $value, ... } )

Changes a bunch of application object's attributes, which is passed as a hash reference with $attr => $value pairs and updates all dependend Widgets on the GUI accordingly.

$activity = $proxy->get_attr_activity ($attr)

Returns the current activity state of $attr.
