User containers?

[yrs90]

I'm not sure if I'm doing this right. I'd like to mediate access to the
container so that I know if data has changed, possibly to filter data sent
to views, and to provide some map-like capabilities to the vector (unique
container, named lookup).

Before I had the following

class ... {
vector<MyListItem> m_list;
};

BEGIN_ADAPTER(...)
PROP(m_list)
END_ADAPTER()

IMPLEMENT_ADAPTER_CONTAINER(vector<MyListItem>)

I tried the following:

class MyContainer : public vector<MyListItem>
{
bool IsDirty() const;
void SetDirty(const bool);

// all constructors and all modification functions
...
};

MyContainer m_list;

BEGIN_ADAPTER(MyContainer)
PROP_I(vector<MyListItem>)
PROP_RW_FUNC(IsDirty, SetDirty, "Dirty")
END_ADAPTER()

IMPLEMENT_ADAPTER_CONTAINER(vector<MyListItem>)

class ... {
MyContainer m_list;
};

BEGIN_ADAPTER(...)
PROP(m_list)
END_ADAPTER()

By the way, in order to do this I had to insert a space before the closing
bracket of the PROP_I macro to avoid >>.

Is this a valid way to proceed?

Regards,
Joel

This should work, as far as I can see from studying the
IMPLEMENT_ADAPTER_CONTAINER define. This define inserts code for a
get_prop_type(const vector<MyListItem>*) function and if you pass a
MyContainer object to it, the compiler should automatically cast this to
vector<MyListItem>.

Fixed now, thanks. I'll check it in.
