Error when saving Bounds2DComponent (serialization error)

[Mathias_Melling]

Hi Bohdan,

I've been building my components by extending the AbstractVisionShape class, which itself is an extension of AbstractVisionComponent and it also implements the Bounds2DComponent interface. Maybe that's the way to go for you as well, instead of trying to implement Bounds2DComponent yourself.

As to your question here:

Vision Component Size restrictions

Hi Mathias, Could you please have a look at: Error-When-Saving-Bounds2DComponent (Serialization error) It is related to what Max is trying to do too. I am asking you since you mentioned about need of boundingRect property... something I suspect I am doing wrong (any particular flags must be set for it to work, e.g. when using addProp(..) in the BeanInfo?). Any chance you can advice how exactly that property needs to be added and if you aware of anything else needed for such component to be sa…

I add the boundingRect property just like any other property:

addProp("boundingRect",
		"Bounds",
		"Bounding rectangle of the component.",
		CAT_POSITION,
		HIDDEN_MASK);

I use the HIDDEN_MASK, because there is no need for this property to be visible. It is only necessary for serialization.
