ModelNodesGeneratorUpdater<T> Class

The base class for Generator Updaters.

Namespace: DevExpress.ExpressApp.Model

Assembly: DevExpress.ExpressApp.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.ExpressApp

Declaration

C#

public abstract class ModelNodesGeneratorUpdater<T> :
    IModelNodesGeneratorUpdater,
    ISupportCachedNodesGeneratorUpdater
    where T : ModelNodesGeneratorBase

VB.NET

Public MustInherit Class ModelNodesGeneratorUpdater(Of T As ModelNodesGeneratorBase)
    Implements IModelNodesGeneratorUpdater,
               ISupportCachedNodesGeneratorUpdater

Type Parameters

Name
T

Remarks

Inherit this class to customize the content of a certain Application Model node, generated by the Nodes Generator. Use the target Nodes Generator type as the generic parameter. You can implement a Generator Updater for one of the built-in Nodes Generators, or for a custom ModelNodesGeneratorBase descendant.

The ModelNodesGeneratorUpdater<T> class exposes the ModelNodesGeneratorUpdater`1.UpdateNode virtual method. Override this method to implement the required update logic. To access the node for which the Updater is invoked, use the method’s node parameter. The ModelNodesGeneratorUpdater<T> descendant should be registered within the overridden ModuleBase.AddGeneratorUpdaters method.

The complete example is available in the How to: Create Additional ListView Nodes in Code using a Generator Updater topic.

Note

Generator Updaters cannot be used to override changes made in the Application Model at runtime. So, the ModelNodesGeneratorUpdater<T> class can be used to specify the default values of node properties.

Important

Always use a Node Generator or Generator Updater to customize the current node and its child nodes. To update nodes outside the current node hierarchy, create separate Node Generators or Generator Updaters.
