ADTF3 Guides - ADTF Property Editor Tool

This guide covers the ADTF Property Editor GUI tool. After reading this guide, you will know:

Introduction

The ADTF Property Editor Tool is a GUI application you can use to manipulate properties at runtime. It can be connected to a running ADTF Session and will display all session objects and their properties. Objects and properites are being displayed in list and tree views and are being updated when a run level transition occurs. Both objects and properties can be filtered for quick navigation.

Available commands

Although the ADTF Property Editor Tool is a GUI application it still has some command line arguments.
Type: adtf_property_editor.exe --help into a console to get the list of the supported commandline arguments:

                
ADTF Property Editor

adtf_property_editor

Usage:
        adtf_property_editor [--help]
        adtf_property_editor [--url <url>] [--interval_runlevel <milliseconds>]
                             [--interval_connection <milliseconds>]

Options:
        --help, -h  Print the usage info and quit.
        --url, -u <url>
                    URL of the ADTF system. Defaults to 'http://localhost:8000'.

        --interval_runlevel <milliseconds>
                    The interval at which the run level will be queried and therefore updates of the
                    session object list (defaults to 1000).

        --interval_connection <milliseconds>
                    The interval at which the connection status will be queried (defaults to 250).

Establish a connection

To connect the tool with default settings to an existing ADTF Session type: adtf_property_editor.exe.
The tool will try to connect to the default ADTF Session URL: http://localhost:8000.

To connect the tool with customized argument type:
adtf_property_editor.exe --url http://examplename:port --interval_runlevel 5000 --interval_connection 1000
