Archiving-related Codeblock Objects

object oriented programming

 
UnForm supports programming with objects, which are self-contained programming units (called objects) that have data elements (known as properties) and functions (known as methods).

 

Object oriented programming (commonly referred to as OOPS) is a modern technique that has become popular with the rise of languages such as Java, C#, C++, and VB.NET.

 

The definition of an object, that is, its properties and methods, is encapsulated within a program unit called a "class".

 

The terms "class" and "object" are sometimes used interchangeably, but there is a distinction: a class is a description or definition, and an object is a physical, programmable representation of a class.

 

There are many built-in objects supplied with UnForm, which can be created (or instantiated) and used within code blocks as needed.  Additional custom objects can be created as a professional service.

 

built in objects

 

The following objects are provided with UnForm and can be instantiated with the new() function.

 

Property and method references follow.

 

This is a list of archiving-related objects.

 

•addrbook  - address book management
•doclist - library document lists
•libraries - library lists
•library - library management
•marked – marked record management
•rac - remote access codes for documents
•search - library search execution
 

Other available objects:
 

•binfile - binary file access
•collection - collections of values by index and name
•date - date management
•http - http/https client for interacting with web servers
•inifile - ini file access
•keyfile - keyed file access
•system - operating system and file system access
•textfile - text file access
•xmlreader - xml document parsing

 

Examples of using many of these objects can be found in the rule file samples/objects.rul.
