Terminal.Bridge Class

In This Topic

This class represents a collection of all bridge connections attached to a given terminal or, if the terminal is part of a multi-level terminal, all bridge connections attached to one level of the multi-level terminal. When getting bridges through TerminalStrip::Bridges property, this class represents a whole bridge which means that it contains all segments of a given type which are connected together (and not just segments connected directly to one terminal)

public class Terminal.Bridge

public ref class Terminal.Bridge

Remarks

Each bridge connection (a segment) is represented by an item in the array returned by the BridgeSegments property. (Note: a segment is two terminals connected by a single bridge connection.)

Example

Terminal term1; // A single-level terminal with some bridge connections existing and connected to it
Terminal.Bridge[] arrBridges = term1.Bridges; // For the single-level terminal, if the terminal has any bridge attached,
											  // the array contains 1 element.
Terminal.Bridge.BridgeInfo[] arrBridgeSegments = arrBridges[0].BridgeSegments;  // The arrBridgeSegments array contains as all bridge segments
																				// of the terminal's first bridge.
																				// All bridge connections are included: 
																				// internal, external and 'small' (i.e. jumper bridges, etc.)

Terminal other = arrBridgeSegments[0].BridgedFunction as Terminal;
Connection brCn = arrBridgeSegments[0].Conn;
if (other != NULL && brCn != NULL)
{
	// The _term1_ terminal is connected with the _other_ terminal through the _brCn_ connection.
}

Terminal term1of3; // A part of a 3-level terminal.
arrBridges = term1of3.Bridges; // If there's a bridge on each level, the array contains 3 elements.
arrBridgeSegments = arrBridges[0].BridgeSegments; // All bridge connections (i.e. segments) of the first level
arrBridgeSegments = arrBridges[1].BridgeSegments; // All bridge connections of the second level
arrBridgeSegments = arrBridges[2].BridgeSegments; // All bridge connections of the third level

Terminal level3 = arrBridges[2].Term;
other = arrBridges[2].BridgeSegments[0].BridgedFunction as Terminal;
brCn = arrBridges[2].BridgeSegments[0].Conn;
if (other != NULL && brCn != NULL)
{
	// The _level3_ terminal - the third level of the multi-level terminal - is connected with the _other_ terminal
	// through the _brCn_ connection.
}

Public Fields

	Name	Description

	Term	One of the terminal connected by the bridge.

Public Properties

	Name	Description
	IsVertical	Returns information whether the bridge is 'vertical', i.e. whether it connects only different levels of the same multi-level terminal. Note: this property is valid only if the bridge object has been obtained through the TerminalStrip.Bridges_Split property of a terminal strip object. Otherwise, this property returns FALSE.
	Kind	A Terminal.Bridge.Kinds of the bridge (i.e. internal, external or small).
	Terminals	An array of all terminals that the bridge connects.
	Type	A type of the bridge. Corresponds to the function definition tag of the bridge's connections.
