Detailed Description

The history of which Command objects have been executed. Once a Command has been executed, it should be placed into the CommandHistory so that an undo/redo mechanism can be operated by the user.

In the TSE3 system there could be be one CommandHistroy object per TSE3::Song or one global CommandHistory.

When the availablity of either undos or redos changes, a notification is sent.

The CommandHistory class has a size limit facility. When either the undo or redo list goes over a certain threshold (see limit) Commands will be deleted. This can be set to 'infinite'.

 CommandHistory (int limit = defaultLimit)

CommandHistory

Create a CommandHistory with the given limit size. This limit defaults to the value of defaultLimit.

Parameters:
limitCommandHistory size limit

void  add (Command *command)

add

Adds a Command to the CommandHistory. The Command must have been executed. Placing it in the CommandHistory ties it's lifetime to that of the CommandHistory object.

Adding a Command will wipe any redos that may have been possible.

Parameters:
commandNew Command to add

bool  undos ()

undos

[const]

Returns whether there are any Command objects that can be undone.

When this information changes a notification will be sent.

Returns: True if there are any undos

void  undo ()

undo

Undoes the last Command, and places it on the redo list.

Command * undoCommand (size_t pos)

undoCommand

Returns the command places down in the undo history. For example, undoCommand(0) returns the next Command to be undone.

If there is no command to be undone at this pos then returns zero.

Parameters:
posIndex into undo history

Returns: Command at this position

bool  redos ()

redos

[const]

Returns whether there are any Command objects that can be redone.

When this information changes a notification will be sent.

Returns: True if there are any redos

void  redo ()

redo

Redoes the last undone Command.

Command * redoCommand (size_t pos)

redoCommand

Returns the command places down in the redo history. For example, redoCommand(0) returns the next Command to be redone.

If there is no command to be redone at this pos then returns zero.

Parameters:
posIndex into redo history

Returns: Command at this position

int  limit ()

limit

[const]

Returns the value of the history size limit. This is the number of Command objects that are stored.

If the value is -1 then the number of undos is unlimited.

Clearly, if the value is 0 then undo is effectively 'off'.

Returns: CommandHistory size limit

void  setLimit (int limit)

setLimit

Sets the CommandHistory limit value. If there are more Command objects than the new limit currently in the CommandHistory, they will be removed.

Parameters:
limitNew CommandHistory size limit
