Syntax
Success = SkinGetData(Path$, State$, Component$, Property$, *ValueData.Integer, *ValueType.Integer=#Null, *ValueSize.Integer=#Null, Skin=#Null)Description
Retrieves the internal data structure associated with a specific skin property for a given selector path, state, and component. This provides access to the parsed, typed representation of the skin value.
Parameters
Path$
The widget class selector path (e.g., "window.button",
"mylistview").
State$
The widget state (e.g., "", "hover", "active"). An empty string targets
the base state.
Component$
The specific component within the widget (e.g., "", "thumb"). An empty
string targets the main element.
Property$
The name of the skin property to retrieve (e.g., "background-color",
"border", "transition").
*ValueData.Integer
A pointer to an Integer variable that will receive the memory address
(pointer) of the internal data structure holding the parsed value for
the property. The actual structure type depends on the property.
*ValueType.Integer (optional)
A pointer to an Integer variable that will receive the type constant of
the retrieved data. Default is #Null.
#PG_Skin_Type_Transition
#PG_Skin_Type_Color
#PG_Skin_Type_Border
#PG_Skin_Type_Background
#PG_Skin_Type_Text
#PG_Skin_Type_BoxShadow*ValueSize.Integer (optional)
A pointer to an Integer variable that will receive the size in bytes of
the retrieved data structure. Default is #Null.
Skin (optional)
The handle of the skin object to query. If #Null, the
current default skin is used. Default is #Null.
Return Value
Returns #True if the specified property was found for
the given path/state/component in the skin. Returns #False
otherwise (e.g., property not found, skin invalid). If successful,
*ValueData will contain the pointer to the data structure,
and *ValueType and *ValueSize (if provided)
will be filled accordingly.
Remarks
This function provides low-level access to the parsed skin data. You need to know the expected data type (based on the `Property$`) to correctly cast the pointer received in `*ValueData` and interpret its contents. For common types like colors, using convenience functions like SkinGetColor() or WidgetGetSkinColor() is generally easier. This function accesses the skin cache if possible.
