9. Declaration of Slots

Aus Hugo Doku

Slots are insertion points, where other child frames can write their output by a corresponding output method.

Note

You need not to declare slots, because for each slot declaration there is a corresponding context method. But declaring the slot first and then use it has two advantages:

* The Frame class gets much more readable, because you see at a glance, what child output methods are used.

* The syntax of usage is shorter.

9.1. @#slot

@#slot slotname;

Description:

Declares a slot. You can use this slot then in an output method by just writing @#slotname.

Note

This is a good alternative to the context method @#slot<! !>. By declaring the slot first, the Frame class gets much more readable.
