Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ Flags

enum nt::NetworkTableEntry::Flags

Flag values (as returned by GetFlags()).

Deprecated:: Use IsPersistent() instead.

Enumerator
kPersistent

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ NetworkTableEntry() [1/2]

nt::NetworkTableEntry::NetworkTableEntry ( )

inline

Construct invalid instance.

◆ NetworkTableEntry() [2/2]

nt::NetworkTableEntry::NetworkTableEntry ( NT_Entry handle )

inlineexplicit

Construct from native handle.

Parameters

handle Native handle

Member Function Documentation

◆ ClearFlags()

void nt::NetworkTableEntry::ClearFlags ( unsigned int flags )

inline

Clears flags.

Parameters

flags the flags to clear (bitmask)

Deprecated:: Use SetPersistent() or topic properties instead

◆ ClearPersistent()

void nt::NetworkTableEntry::ClearPersistent ( )

inline

Stop making value persistent through program restarts.

◆ Delete()

void nt::NetworkTableEntry::Delete ( )

inline

Deletes the entry.

Deprecated:: Use Unpublish() instead.

◆ Exists()

bool nt::NetworkTableEntry::Exists ( ) const

inline

Determines if the entry currently exists.

Returns: True if the entry exists, false otherwise.

◆ GetBoolean()

bool nt::NetworkTableEntry::GetBoolean ( bool defaultValue ) const

inline

Gets the entry's value as a boolean.

If the entry does not exist or is of different type, it will return the default value.

Parameters

defaultValue the value to be returned if no value is found
