=head1 NAME

Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Proxy - Proxy class for application objects

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  #-- Proxies are always created through
  #-- Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Context, never
  #-- directly by the application.

  Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Proxy->new (
    context              => Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Context,
    object               => Object instance or CODEREF,
    name                 => Name of this proxy,
    set_prefix           => Method prefix for write accessors,
    get_prefix           => Method prefix for read accessors,
    attr_accessors_href  => Hashref with accessor callbacks,
    attr_activity_href   => Hashref with activity callbacks,
    aggregated_by        => Fully qualified attribute of the parent,
    changes_attr_filter  => Regex for attributes which should not trigger
                            the object's 'changed' status
  );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class implements a generic proxy mechanism for accessing
application objects and their attributes. It defines attributes
of the associated object are accessed. You never instantiate
objects of this class by yourself; they're created internally by
Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Context when adding objects with the
Context->add_object() method.

But you may use the proxy objects e.g. for updates which affect the
application object and the GUI as well.

You can receive Proxy objects using the Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Context->get_proxy()
method.

=head1 OBJECT HIERARCHY

  Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Proxy

=head1 ATTRIBUTES

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

=over 4

=item B<context> = Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Context [mandatory]

The Context this proxy belongs to.

=item B<object> = Object instance | CODEREF

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

=item B<name> = SCALAR [mandatory]

The Context wide unique name of this Proxy.

=item B<set_prefix> = SCALAR [optional]

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

=item B<get_prefix> = SCALAR [optional]

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

=item B<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.

=item B<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.

=item B<aggregated_by> = "object.attr" [optional]

Fully qualified attribute of the parent aggregating this object

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

=item B<changes_attr_filter> = REGEX [optional]

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

=item B<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.

=back

=head1 METHODS

=over 4

=item $app_object = $proxy->B<get_object> ()

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

=item $proxy->B<set_object> ($object)

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

=item $app_object_attr_value = $proxy->B<get_attr> ($attr)

Returns the application object's attribute B<$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.

=item $proxy->B<set_attr> ($attr => $value)

Changes the application object's attribute B<$attr> to B<$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.

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

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

=item $activity = $proxy->B<get_attr_activity> ($attr)

Returns the current activity state of B<$attr>.
