Detailed Description

This class describes a field of a structure data type represented by UaStructureDefinition.

The minimum settings for a field in a structure are

Name setName() / name()
DataType NodeId setValueType() / valueType() or setDataTypeId() / typeId()

OPC UA supports different kind of data types. The following options are available for setting the data type

Built-in data types without ExtensionObject (see structure)
There are 24 so called built-in types like Boolean, Float, UInt32 or String. For these data types, the numeric part of the DataType NodeId matches the built-in type number. Such a built-in type can be set with setValueType(). The member DataTypeId is set automatically. If setDataTypeId() is used, the ValueType is set automtically.
Structure data types
A structure data type can be set with setStructureDefinition(). The ValueType (built-in type = ExtensionObject) and the DataTypeId members are set automatically
Enumeration data type
An enumeration data type can be set with setEnumDefinition(). The ValueType (built-in type = Int32) and the DataTypeId members are set automatically
Data type derived from built-in types
An example is UtcTime with is derived from built-in data type DateTime. In this case the DataTypeId (UtcTime) must be set with setDataTypeId() and the built-in type (DateTime) must be set with setValueType()

Additional setting for a field have default values. These additional settings are

ValueRank has default value sclar. Possible options are sclar and array (setArrayType() / arrayType())
Optional with default value false (setOptional() / isOptional())

Member Function Documentation

UaStructureField::ArrayType UaStructureField::arrayType ( ) const

Returns the array type.

OpcUa_BuiltInType UaStructureField::builtInTypeFromDataTypeId	(	const UaNodeId &	dataTypeId,
		UaDataTypeDictionary *	pDataTypeDictionary = `NULL`
	)

static

Returns the ValueType that is specified by a DataType.

Returns valid values for DataTypes with NamespaceIndex = 0 and Indentifier < 26, and for Enumerations or Structures that are defined in the pDataTypeDictionary.

Parameters

dataTypeId	NodeId of the requested data type
pDataTypeDictionary	If NULL, only DataTypes with NamespaceIndex = 0 and Indetifier < 26 will return a valid ValueType.

UaLocalizedText UaStructureField::documentation ( ) const

Returns the documentation of the structure field.

UaEnumDefinition UaStructureField::enumDefinition ( ) const

Returns the UaEnumDefinition of the field.

If the enum definintion has not been set, an empty UaEnumDefinition is returned.

bool UaStructureField::isNull ( )

Returns true if the name is empty.

UaString UaStructureField::name ( ) const

Returns the name of the structure field.

UaStructureField & UaStructureField::operator= ( const UaStructureField & other )

Assignment.

void UaStructureField::setArrayType ( UaStructureField::ArrayType arrayType )

Sets the array type.

void UaStructureField::setDataTypeId ( const UaNodeId & dataTypeId )

Sets the DataTypeId (NodeId of the data type).

If this method is called with the NodeId of a built-in data type (NamespaceIndex = 0 and Identifier < 26), and the ValueType (built-in type) is not set (setValueType()), the ValueType is set automatically.

If the data type is a structure or enumeration, the methods setStructureDefinition() or setEnumDefinition() must be used. The DataType and ValueType (built-in type) are set automatically by these methods.

If the data type is a type derived from one of the built-in types like UtcTime derived from DateTime, the DataTypeId (UtcTime) must be set with setDataTypeId() and the built-in type (DateTime) must be set with setValueType()

void UaStructureField::setDocumentation ( const UaLocalizedText & documentation )

Sets the documentation of the structure field.

void UaStructureField::setEnumDefinition ( const UaEnumDefinition & newEnumDefinition )

Sets the EnumDefinition, the DataTypeId, and the ValueType.

The built-in type (Int32) and the DataTypeId members are set automatically with this method.

void UaStructureField::setName ( const UaString & sName )

Sets the name of the structure field.

void UaStructureField::setOptional ( bool bOptional )

Specifies whether the field is optional.

Fields that are children of unions must not be optional.

Parameters

bOptional The field is set to optional if 'true'

void UaStructureField::setSourceType ( const UaStructureDefinition & parent )

Sets the UaStructureDefinition which defines this field.

If a structured DataType is derived from another structured DataType, the derived type inherits all fields of the base type. Using this method, a link to the base type which declares the field is created for an inherited field.

This method should only be called by UaStructureDefinition::createSubtype.

void UaStructureField::setStructureDefinition ( const UaStructureDefinition & newStructureDefinition )

Sets the StructureDefinition, the DataTypeId and the ValueType.

The built-in type (ExtensionObject) and the DataTypeId members are set automatically with this method.

void UaStructureField::setValueType ( OpcUa_BuiltInType type )

Sets the ValueType (built-in type).

If this method is called and the DataType NodeId (setDataTypeId()) is not set, the DataType NodeId is set automatically.

If the data type is a structure or enumeration, the methods setStructureDefinition() or setEnumDefinition() must be used. The DataType and ValueType (built-in type) are set automatically by these methods.

If the data type is a type derived from one of the built-in types like UtcTime derived from DateTime, the DataTypeId (UtcTime) must be set with setDataTypeId() and the built-in type (DateTime) must be set with setValueType()

UaStructureDefinition UaStructureField::sourceType ( ) const

Returns the source type.

The source type is the supertype of the UaStructureDefinition which originally declared the field.

UaStructureDefinition UaStructureField::structureDefinition ( ) const

Returns the UaStructureDefinition of the field.

If the structure definintion has not been set, an empty UaStructureDefinition is returned.

OpcUa_BuiltInType UaStructureField::valueType ( ) const

Returns the ValueType.
