SyntaxThe SoBlinker type exposes the following members.
ConstructorsMethods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | AddChild | Adds a child as last one in group. |
| AffectsState | Overrides method in OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoNode to return false if there is no selected child or the selected child does not affect the state. |
| Callback | (Inherited from SoSwitch.) |
| Copy | Calls Copy(false). (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| Copy(Boolean) | Creates and returns an exact copy of the node. |
| CopyFieldValues(SoFieldContainer) | Calls CopyFieldValues(fc, false). (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.) |
| CopyFieldValues(SoFieldContainer, Boolean) | Copies the contents of fc's fields into this object's fields. |
| Dispose |
Releases all resources used by SoDisposable.
(Inherited from SoDisposable.) |
| Distribute | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| DoAction | (Inherited from SoSwitch.) |
| EnableNotify | Notification at this Field Container is enabled (if flag == true) or disabled (if flag == false). |
| Equals | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| FieldsAreEqual | Returns true if this object's fields are exactly equal to fc's fields. |
| FindChild | Finds index of given child within group. |
| Get | Returns the values of the fields of this object in the Open Inventor ASCII file format in the given string. |
| GetAllFields | Returns a list of fields, including the eventIn's and eventOut's. |
| GetAlternateRep | This method is called by actions to allow the node to provide an "alternate representation" when appropriate (typically depending on the action type). |
| GetBoundingBox | (Overrides SoSwitchGetBoundingBox(SoGetBoundingBoxAction).) |
| GetChild | Returns pointer the child node with the given index. |
| GetEventIn | Returns a the eventIn with the given name. |
| GetEventOut | Returns the eventOut with the given name. |
| GetField | Returns a the field of this object whose name is fieldName. |
| GetFieldName | Returns the name of the given field in the fieldName argument. |
| GetFields | Appends references to all of this object's fields to resultList, and returns the number of fields appended. |
| GetHashCode |
Overrides GetHashCode().
(Inherited from SoNetBase.) |
| GetMatrix | (Inherited from SoSwitch.) |
| GetName | Returns the name of an instance. |
| GetNumChildren | Returns number of children. |
| GetPrimitiveCount | (Inherited from SoSwitch.) |
| GetRenderEngineMode | Returns the supported Render engine mode. |
| GetRenderUnitID | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| GetStringName | (Inherited from SoBase.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GLRender | (Inherited from SoSwitch.) |
| GLRenderBelowPath | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| GLRenderInPath | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| GLRenderOffPath | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| GrabEventsCleanup | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| GrabEventsSetup | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| HandleEvent | (Inherited from SoSwitch.) |
| HasDefaultValues | Returns true if all of the object's fields have their default values. |
| InsertChild | Adds a child so that it becomes the one with the given index. |
| IsBoundingBoxIgnoring | Used by BoundingBoxAction to known if bounding box computation should be ignored or not. |
| IsNotifyEnabled | Notification is the process of telling interested objects that this object has changed. |
| IsOverride | Returns the state of the override flag. |
| IsSynchronizable | Gets the ScaleViz synchronizable state of this object. |
| Pick | (Inherited from SoSwitch.) |
| RayPick | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| RemoveAllChildren | Removes all children from group. |
| RemoveChild(Int32) | Removes child with given index from group. |
| RemoveChild(SoNode) | Removes first instance of given child from group. |
| ReplaceChild(Int32, SoNode) | Replaces child with given index with new child. |
| ReplaceChild(SoNode, SoNode) | Replaces first instance of given child with new child. |
| Search | (Inherited from SoSwitch.) |
| Set | Sets one or more fields in this object to the values specified in the given string, which should be a string in the Open Inventor file format. |
| SetName | (Inherited from SoBase.) |
| SetOverride | Turns the override flag on or off. |
| SetSynchronizable | Sets this to be a ScaleViz synchronizable object. |
| SetToDefaults | Sets all fields in this object to their default values. |
| ToString |
Converts this SoBase structure to a human readable string.
(Inherited from SoBase.) |
| Touch | Marks an instance as modified, simulating a change to it. |
| Write | (Overrides SoSwitchWrite(SoWriteAction).) |
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | boundingBoxIgnoring | Whether to ignore this node during bounding box traversal. |
| IsDisposable | ISafeDisposable interface implementation.
(Inherited from SoDisposable.) |
| on | Allows applications to enable or disable the blinking easily. |
| speed | Defines the speed of the blinker, in cycles per second. |
| UserData |
Gets or sets the user data to be contained by the field container.
(Inherited from SoFieldContainer.) |
| whichChild | Index of the child to traverse, or one of SO_SWITCH_NONE, SO_SWITCH_INHERIT, or SO_SWITCH_ALL. |
RemarksThe OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoBlinker class is derived from OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoSwitch, so it selects one of its children to traverse. Using engines connected to the realTime global field, the whichChild field is animated over time. If the node has only one child, whichChild toggles between SO_SWITCH_NONE and 0, causing the child to be switched on and off repeatedly. If the node has more than one child, they are cycled through continuously.
