The class CObjEx is an enhanced base class designed for objects which are used in STx scripts. Objects based on this class are deleted automatically before the script application is finished. By convention a class based on CObjEx implements the following simple instantiation method:

cobjexinst := cobjExClassName constructionArguments

This instantation method can simply be implemented: 

[class myclassex cobjex]
exit 1 set '$(cobj 'new $#mac $#argv')'

// start with member functions here
...

Rules for derived classes

If a derived class implementa a construct or destruct member, the base class member must be called.

public_construct:

The default constructor calls the CObj constructor and writes a construct-message to the console window. The base class member takes no arguments and returns always 0 (success). It must be called by derived classes.

public_destruct:

The default constructor stops and deletes the internal timer (&logTimerItem), calls the CObj destructor and writes a destruct-message to the console window. It must be called by derived classes.

Member Functions

Cleanup (static)

cobjex cleanup
Result
none:
Description
Delete all instances of classes derived from CObjEx. This function is called automatically by the script controller (BScript) before the script application exits.

Log

Usage
cobjex_inst log text:
text
the text to write to the script console
Result
none
Description
Write the message cobjex_inst: text to the script console.

ELog

Usage
cobjex_inst elog lev ; res ; text
lev
the number of macro levels to close (1 = return to caller, 2 = exit caller, ...; default=2)
res
the result value to be returned; no default (empty)
text
the text to write to the script console.
Result
none
Description
Write the message cobjex_inst: Error! - text to the script console and exits the specified number of macro levels (exit lev set 'res').

LogExit

Usage
cobjex_inst logexit res ; text:
res
the result to assign after returning.
text
the text to write to the console window
Result
The value of argument res
Description
Writes the message class-instance: text to the script console and exits from 2 macros (= return from caller) with the return value res.

LogTimer

cobjex_inst logtimer cmd ; text
cmd
one of the following:
  • ON or BEGIN: start the timer and/or display the elapsed time the console window.
  • OFF or END: stop the timer and display the elapsed time in the console window.
text
the text to write to the console window
Return
The elapsed time in seconds.
Description
Start (continue) or stop the internal timer of the object and write the elapsed time and text to the console window.
