Syntax

public class TNCFilesManager

Constructors

TNCFilesManager(INCStorageManager)

Initializes a new instance of the TNCFilesManager class. Usually you don't need to create this class manually because there is already a globally accessible static instance Singletone, and must exist only one instance of this class.

Declaration

public TNCFilesManager(INCStorageManager ncStorageManager)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
INCStorageManager	ncStorageManager	Link to the internal object INCStorageManager of the postprocessing system that can create new INCStorage instances.

Properties

DefaultNCFilesOwner

This property contains a link to a global instance of INCFileOwner interface. In fact, this reference usually indicates the current postprocessor TPostprocessor object.

Declaration

public INCFileOwner DefaultNCFilesOwner { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
INCFileOwner

FileCount

The count of output files in the list.

Declaration

public int FileCount { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Int32

Item[Int32]

Returns the output file from the list by its index [0 .. FileCount-1].

Declaration

public TNCFile this[int Index] { get; }

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Int32	Index	The index of an output file you want to get [0 .. FileCount-1].

Property Value

Type	Description
TNCFile	Returns TNCFile object that corresponds to the given index.

OutputDisabled

This property contains "true" only if the writing to an output files was disabled by the call of DisableOutput() method. All implementations of TNCFile should check this property and skip real writing if it is "true".

Declaration

public bool OutputDisabled { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

Singletone

The single global instance of the TNCFilesManager class. It contains the list of output files formed by postprocessor.

Declaration

public static TNCFilesManager Singletone { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
TNCFilesManager

Methods

Add(TNCFile)

Adds a new file (existing instance of TNCFile) to the end of the list.

Declaration

public void Add(TNCFile file)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
TNCFile	file	The file to add to the list.

AddExternalBinaryFile(String, String)

Creates a new external file (instance of TExternalNCFile class, not the file itself), assigns it a specified name of the output file and adds it to the list. Unlike AddExternalFile(String) method, the added file will be marked as binary (not text, for the purpose of correctly displaying its contents to the user). It is assumed that this file was formed or obtained by a postprocessor in some special way, for example, through an external third-party program, and added to the list of postprocessor output files already in the finished form.

Declaration

public void AddExternalBinaryFile(string outputFileName, string fileDescription)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.String	outputFileName	The full path to an external file you want to add to the list of output files.
System.String	fileDescription	Short textual description of the file content that will be shown to the user instead of hexadecimal representation. If fileDescription is empty then hexadecimal representation of its bytes will be shown.

AddExternalFile(String)

Creates a new external file (instance of TExternalNCFile class, not the file itself), assigns it a specified name of the output file and adds it to the list. It is assumed that this file was formed or obtained by a postprocessor in some special way, for example, through an external third-party program, and added to the list of postprocessor output files already in the finished form.

Declaration

public void AddExternalFile(string outputFileName)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.String	outputFileName	The full path to an external file you want to add to the list of output files.

AddExternalFile(String, INCFileOwner)

Creates a new external file (instance of TExternalNCFile class, not the file itself), assigns it a specified name of the output file and adds it to the list. It is assumed that this file was formed or obtained by a postprocessor in some special way, for example, through an external third-party program, and added to the list of postprocessor output files already in the finished form.

Declaration

public void AddExternalFile(string outputFileName, INCFileOwner owner)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.String	outputFileName	The full path to an external file you want to add to the list of output files.
INCFileOwner	owner	The postprocessor that owns this file.

DisableOutput()

Turns off the output to all output files. All writing commands (such as WriteLine(String)) will simply ignored and the real addition of new data into the file will not happen.

You can turn on it back using EnableOutput() method.

While DisableOutput is active the property OutputDisabled contains "true".

All CLData command handlers will continue to be called as it should be.

It is usefull when you want simply to ignore temporary some limited range of CLData commands (for example, to emulate idle subroutine call, or to insert some block of text instead of completely inappropriate set of CLData commands formed by SprutCAM).

Declaration

public void DisableOutput()

EnableOutput()

Turns on the output to all output files back if it was turned of before by DisableOutput() method.

After that the property OutputDisabled contains "false" again.

Declaration

public void EnableOutput()

Flush()

Writes the buffered in memory data for the output files to a hard drive (to a temporary files, not to the final destination). Usually you don't need to call it manually, the postprocessing system calls it as needed.

Declaration

public void Flush()

IndexOf(TNCFile)

Looking for the specified file in the list and returns its index.

Declaration

public int IndexOf(TNCFile item)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
TNCFile	item	The file to look for.

Returns

Type	Description
System.Int32	If the file has been found in the list then its index will return. If there is no such file the return is "-1".

SaveOuputFiles()

This method is called by the system automatically at the most final stage of the postprocessor's work. Here the contents of each of the output files are recorded from a temporary storage (in memory or temporary file) to the destination file specified in the OutputFileName property.

After this saving the OnFinalizeNCFiles(TNCFilesManager) handler of the postprocessor is called where you can implement some additional actions on the output files.

Declaration

public void SaveOuputFiles()
