Property Boolean Ring_State
| Read Access: | Get Ring_State to BooleanVariable |
| Write Access: | Set Ring_State to BooleanVariable/Value |
The Ring_state property determines whether or not the objects added into the next level (in the focus tree) of this object are to act as a ring, with the first and last objects in the level wrapping to one another. The objects at the end of the ring will have their prior and next focus set to point at each other. The normal navigation path will remain within the ring of objects.
set ring_state of (a_client(self)) to true
The standard navigation messages switch and switch_back use this arrangement of the focus tree to cause a circular data entry procedure. Container class objects have this property set to true by default, as do other classes whose object creation line includes the ring option (where supported).
