Detailed Description

The element sub-element of compositionType in quantitation.xml.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ms_quant_element() [1/2]

ms_quant_element

(

)

Default constructor.

Assigns reasonable default values to all internal members.

ms_quant_element() [2/2]

ms_quant_element

(

const ms_quant_element &

src

)

Copying constructor.

Parameters

src	another instance of this class to copy the content from.

Member Function Documentation

copyFrom()

void copyFrom

(

const ms_quant_element *

right

)

Copies all content from another instance.

Parameters

right

another instance of this class to copy the content from.

defaultValues()

void defaultValues

(

)

Call this member if you want to start again.

All internal values are reset to their defaults, as if the object had been freshly created with the default constructor.

dropNumber()

void dropNumber

(

)

Deletes the number attribute.

Deletes the attribute until is re-set.

dropSymbol()

void dropSymbol

(

)

Deletes the symbol attribute.

Deletes the attribute until is re-set.

getNumber()

int getNumber

(

)

const

Returns the value of the number attribute.

Count for the element or isotope. Can be negative.

Returns

current value of the attribute.

getNumberSchemaType()

std::string getNumberSchemaType

(

)

const

Obtain a symbolic name for the number attribute schema type.

The obtained type name can be used to get a corresponding type description object from ms_xml_schema.

Returns

symbolic type name for the element.

getSchemaType()

std::string getSchemaType ( ) const

virtual

Returns name of the schema type that can be used to validate this element.

Additional information about the current object can be retrieved from the associated XML schema file. Every element in an XML document is defined with a named type, which you can use to find out what kind of limits (numerical or otherwise) are defined for values of that type.

See also

validateShallow(), validateDeep()

Returns

a symbolic fully qualified type name (for example, "mqm:nameType").

getSymbol()

std::string getSymbol

(

)

const

Returns the value of the symbol attribute.

Chemical element or isotope.

Returns

current value of the attribute.

getSymbolSchemaType()

std::string getSymbolSchemaType

(

)

const

Obtain a symbolic name for the symbol attribute schema type.

The obtained type name can be used to get a corresponding type description object from ms_xml_schema.

Returns

symbolic type name for the element.

haveNumber()

bool haveNumber

(

)

const

Indicates presence of the number attribute.

Returns

TRUE if the attribute is present and FALSE otherwise.

haveSymbol()

bool haveSymbol

(

)

const

Indicates presence of the symbol attribute.

Returns

TRUE if the attribute is present and FALSE otherwise.

operator=()

ms_quant_element & operator=

(

const ms_quant_element &

right

)

C++ style assignment operator.

Parameters

right

another instance of this class to copy the content from.

Returns

reference to the current object

setNumber()

void setNumber

(

const int

number

)

Set a custom value for the number attribute.

Parameters

number

a new value for the attribute.

setSymbol()

void setSymbol

(

const char *

symbol

)

Set a custom value for the symbol attribute.

Parameters

symbol

a new value for the attribute.

validateDeep()

std::string validateDeep ( const ms_xml_schema *  pSchemaFileObj ) const

virtual

Performs validation of all child elements in addition to 'shallow' validation.

The current object can be checked against an XML schema. When using this method all possible checks are performed. However, this is not a substitute for the schema: some schema-defined constraint are not applied (unique fields, foreign keys etc.).

In order to make sure that current object is free from all syntax errors validate it as a part of the whole document.

See also

validateShallow(), getSchemaType()

Parameters

pSchemaFileObj

a valid schema object instance to validate against.

Returns

user-friendly description of any errors found during validation or an empty string if no errors detected.

validateShallow()

std::string validateShallow ( const ms_xml_schema *  pSchemaFileObj ) const

virtual

Performs simple validation of the top-level elements only.

The current object can be checked against some basic constraints in a schema without looking at children element types. When using this method only the current object and children derived from standard types (for example, restrictions with enumerations) are checked. For more thorough validation, use validateDeep().

See also

getSchemaType()

Parameters

pSchemaFileObj

a valid schema object instance to validate against.

Returns

user-friendly description of any errors found during validation or an empty string if no errors detected.
