Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CCDictionary ( )

The constructor of CCDictionary.

~CCDictionary ( )

The destructor of CCDictionary.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void acceptVisitor ( CCDataVisitor & visitor )

virtual

Reimplemented from CCObject.

CCArray* allKeys ( )

Return all keys of elements.

Returns: The array contains all keys of elements. It's an autorelease object yet.

CCArray* allKeysForObject ( CCObject * object )

Get all keys according to the specified object.

Warning: We use '==' to compare two objects

Returns: The array contains all keys for the specified object. It's an autorelease object yet.

virtual CCObject* copyWithZone ( CCZone * pZone )

virtual

This function is used for deepcopy elements from source dictionary to destination dictionary.

You shouldn't invoke this function manually since it's called by CCObject::copy.

Reimplemented from CCCopying.

unsigned int count ( )

Get the count of elements in CCDictionary.

Returns: The count of elements.

static CCDictionary* create ( )

static

Create a dictionary.

Returns: A dictionary which is an autorelease object.

See also: createWithDictionary(CCDictionary*), createWithContentsOfFile(const char*), createWithContentsOfFileThreadSafe(const char*).

static CCDictionary*
createWithContentsOfFile ( const char * pFileName )

static

Create a dictionary with a plist file.

Parameters

pFileName The name of the plist file.

Returns: A dictionary which is an autorelease object.

See also: create(), createWithDictionary(CCDictionary*), createWithContentsOfFileThreadSafe(const char*).

static CCDictionary*
createWithContentsOfFileThreadSafe ( const char * pFileName )

static

Create a dictionary with a plist file.

Note: the return object isn't an autorelease object. This can make sure not using autorelease pool in a new thread. Therefore, you need to manage the lifecycle of the return object. It means that when you don't need it, CC_SAFE_RELEASE needs to be invoked.

Parameters

pFileName The name of the plist file.

Returns: A dictionary which isn't an autorelease object.

static CCDictionary*
createWithDictionary ( CCDictionary * srcDict )

static

Create a dictionary with an existing dictionary.

Parameters

srcDict The exist dictionary.

Returns: A dictionary which is an autorelease object.

See also: create(), createWithContentsOfFile(const char*), createWithContentsOfFileThreadSafe(const char*).

CCObject* objectForKey ( const std::string & key )

Get the object according to the specified string key.

Note: The dictionary needs to use string as key. If integer is passed, an assert will appear.

Parameters

key	The string key for searching.

Returns: The object matches the key. You need to force convert it to the type you know.
// Assume that the elements are CCString* pointers. Convert it by following code.

CCString* pStr = (CCString*)pDict->objectForKey("key1");

// Do something about pStr.

// If you don't know the object type, properly you need to use dynamic_cast<SomeType*> to check it.

CCString* pStr2 = dynamic_cast<CCString*>(pDict->objectForKey("key1"));

if (pStr2 != NULL) {

// Do something about pStr2

}

See also: objectForKey(intptr_t)

CCObject* objectForKey ( intptr_t key )

Get the object according to the specified integer key.

Note: The dictionary needs to use integer as key. If string is passed, an assert will appear.

Parameters

key	The integer key for searching.

Returns: The object matches the key.

See also: objectForKey(const std::string&)

CCObject* randomObject ( )

Return a random object in the dictionary.

Returns: The random object.

See also: objectForKey(intptr_t), objectForKey(const std::string&)

void removeAllObjects ( )

Remove all objects in the dictionary.

See also: removeObjectForKey(const std::string&), removeObjectForKey(intptr_t), removeObjectsForKeys(CCArray*), removeObjectForElememt(CCDictElement*).

void removeObjectForElememt ( CCDictElement * pElement )

Remove an object by an element.

Parameters

pElement The element need to be removed.

See also: removeObjectForKey(const std::string&), removeObjectForKey(intptr_t), removeObjectsForKeys(CCArray*), removeAllObjects().

void removeObjectForKey ( const std::string & key )

Remove an object by the specified string key.

Parameters

key	The string key for searching.

See also: removeObjectForKey(intptr_t), removeObjectsForKeys(CCArray*), removeObjectForElememt(CCDictElement*), removeAllObjects().

void removeObjectForKey ( intptr_t key )

Remove an object by the specified integer key.

Parameters

key	The integer key for searching.

See also: removeObjectForKey(const std::string&), removeObjectsForKeys(CCArray*), removeObjectForElememt(CCDictElement*), removeAllObjects().

void removeObjectsForKeys ( CCArray * pKeyArray )

Remove objects by an array of keys.

Parameters

pKeyArray The array contains keys to be removed.

See also: removeObjectForKey(const std::string&), removeObjectForKey(intptr_t), removeObjectForElememt(CCDictElement*), removeAllObjects().

void setObject	(	CCObject *	pObject,
		const std::string &	key
	)

Insert an object to dictionary, and match it with the specified string key.

Note: Whe the first time this method is invoked, the key type will be set to string. After that you can't setObject with an integer key. If the dictionary contains the key you passed, the object matching the key will be released and removed from dictionary. Then the new object will be inserted after that.

Parameters

pObject	The Object to be inserted.
key	The string key for searching.

See also: setObject(CCObject*, intptr_t)

void setObject	(	CCObject *	pObject,
		intptr_t	key
	)

Insert an object to dictionary, and match it with the specified string key.

Note: Then the first time this method is invoked, the key type will be set to string. After that you can't setObject with an integer key. If the dictionary contains the key you passed, the object matching the key will be released and removed from dictionary. Then the new object will be inserted after that.

Parameters

pObject	The Object to be inserted.
key	The string key for searching.

See also: setObject(CCObject*, const std::string&)

const CCString* valueForKey ( const std::string & key )

Get the value according to the specified string key.

Note: Be careful to use this function since it assumes the objects in the dictionary are CCString pointer.

Parameters

key	The string key for searching

Returns: An instance of CCString. It will return an empty string if the objects aren't CCString pointer or the key wasn't found.

See also: valueForKey(intptr_t)

const CCString* valueForKey ( intptr_t key )

Get the value according to the specified integer key.

Note: Be careful to use this function since it assumes the objects in the dictionary are CCString pointer.

Parameters

key	The string key for searching.

Returns: An instance of CCString. It will return an empty string if the objects aren't CCString pointer or the key wasn't found.

See also: valueForKey(intptr_t)

bool writeToFile ( const char * fullPath )

Write a dictionary to a plist file.

Parameters

fullPath The full path of the plist file. You can get writeable path by getWritablePath()

Returns: true if successed, false if failed
