abstract boolean com.mendix.systemwideinterfaces.core.IDataType.checkTypeForValue ( Object  value) [pure virtual]

Checks the type of the given value
If the given value is a List, it should contain at least one item to check the object type

Parameters:
value
Returns:
returns true if the value is valid for this DataType
String com.mendix.systemwideinterfaces.core.IDataType.getDSLType ( )
Returns:
raw String representing the type defined in the DSL
IMetaEnumeration com.mendix.systemwideinterfaces.core.IDataType.getEnumeration ( )
Returns:
the enumeration if type is enumeration.
abstract String com.mendix.systemwideinterfaces.core.IDataType.getObjectType ( ) [pure virtual]
Returns:
objectType if type is List or Object, otherwise null
abstract DataTypeEnum com.mendix.systemwideinterfaces.core.IDataType.getType ( ) [pure virtual]
Returns:
enum type
abstract IDataType com.mendix.systemwideinterfaces.core.IDataType.getTypeOfValue ( Object  value) [pure virtual]

Returns DataType of the given value
If the given value is a List, it should contain at least one item to set the object type

Parameters:
value
Returns:
DataType of given value
boolean com.mendix.systemwideinterfaces.core.IDataType.isList ( )
Returns:
returns true if this DataType is a list
boolean com.mendix.systemwideinterfaces.core.IDataType.isMendixObject ( )
Returns:
returns true if this DataType is an object
boolean com.mendix.systemwideinterfaces.core.IDataType.isNothing ( )
Returns:
returns true if this DataType is nothing
abstract Object com.mendix.systemwideinterfaces.core.IDataType.parseValueFromString ( String  value) [pure virtual]

Parses a String to a value based on this datatype

Parameters:
value
