Constructor Detail

LnThrottleStringIO

public LnThrottleStringIO(LocoNetSystemConnectionMemo scm)

Create a LnThrottleStringIO object

Parameters:

scm - connection memo

Method Detail

sendStringToLayout

protected void sendStringToLayout(java.lang.String value)
                           throws JmriException

Sends the string to the layout. The string [u]must not[/u] be longer than the value of getMaximumLength() unless that value is zero. Some microcomputers have little memory and it's very important that this method is never called with too long strings.

Specified by:

sendStringToLayout in class AbstractStringIO

Parameters:

value - the desired string value

Throws:

JmriException - general error when setting the value fails

getMaximumLength

public int getMaximumLength()

Get the maximum length of string that this StringIO can handle.

Returns:

the maximum length or 0 if arbitrary lengths are accepted.

cutLongStrings

protected boolean cutLongStrings()

Cut long strings instead of throwing an exception? For example, if the StringIO is a display, it could be desired to accept too long strings. On the other hand, if the StringIO is used to send a command, a too long string is an error.

Specified by:

cutLongStrings in class AbstractStringIO

Returns:

true if long strings should be cut
