Please Note: Reflection requires StringTheory 3

In August of 2019 a convention for the use of the Name Attribute to store Extended properties was submitted on ClarionHub. While that convention has been supported by a number of CapeSoft, and non-CapeSoft, tools, each tool has had to write their own parsing library.

CapeSoft Reflection is an attempt to provide a standard library for parsing extended attributes, and for providing common helper functions that are required for libraries using Extended Attributes. It is provided to the wider Clarion Community at no charge. Although free, it needs to be ordered via the ClarionShop link below.

It will typically be used in an invisible, or nearly invisible way by other libraries, and will likely not be used much by individual developers (unless they are supporting their own custom attributes.)

An introduction to this class, and the way in which it works, was described in ClarionLive session #637 , recorded on 12 November 2021.

• Parses File, View, Queue and Group structures for their use of Extended Attributes
• Allows the developer to add additional Attributes which are not in the structure
• Supports nested structures (Queues-In-Queues and Queues-In-Groups)
• Provides several helper methods for common use cases
• Since it is all-code, and has no User Interface features, it is compatible with AnyScreen.
• It is shipped as all-source code, no DLL's.

Reflection requires StringTheory 3.
