Remove a property by name in OpenMesh - c++

In OpenMesh, once a named property is added to an element, it will be permanent in the sense that the property survives the scope of the property manager as explained here. My question is, how to remove such a property by its name?
So far I tried removing by the property manager and even this one fails:
auto face_props = OpenMesh::FProp<FaceProp>(mesh, "face_props");
mesh.remove_property(face_props);
with the error
error: no matching function for call to ‘OpenMesh::TriMesh_ArrayKernelT<>::remove_property(OpenMesh::PropertyManager<OpenMesh::FPropHandleT<FaceProp>, int>&)’
Is there a remove_property function where I could write remove_property("face_props") (or similar) to remove the property?
Edit: The following gives the same error:
mesh.remove_property( OpenMesh::getProperty<OpenMesh::FaceHandle, FaceProp>(mesh, "face_props") );
I suspect that mesh.remove_property() expects a property handle object, but getProperty() returns a property manager. I don't see how to get around this.
Edit2: I guess an alternative question would be: how to get a property handle to a property from a property manager?
Edit3: Looking at the source, it seems like PropertyManager has a member function deleteProperty() but a) is private and b) it only deletes the property if retain is not set which I assume would be set for named properties.

Apparently one can define a lower level property handle and then use get_property_handle which takes a handle as reference and updates it in place. This works:
OpenMesh::FPropHandleT< FaceProp > fprop;
mesh.get_property_handle(fprop, "face_props");
mesh.remove_property( fprop );
I wish this was better documented. Or that I was better in C++.

Firemonkey: How to iterate through all forms in the application using TScreen.Forms

I am attempting to iterate through the forms I have open in my application. I have found the documentation for FMX.Forms.TScreen.Forms, which looks like it can be used to accomplish my goal. However, I am confused on how I am supposed to use it.
At first I tried this in a function within my form's CPP file:
ShowMessage( Forms::TScreen::FormCount );
This produced the error 'Member TScreen::FormCount cannot be used without an object'
I figured that to mean that I need to attempt to access this property from my form, or from the global Application variable. I tried both
this->Forms...
Application->Forms...
and
this->TScreen...
Application->TScreen...
However, neither Forms nor TScreen exist within either of these objects.
How do I go about accessing Forms.TScreen.Forms?
The error gives you a clue:
Member TScreen::FormCount cannot be used without an object
TScreen is a class, not an object. FormCount is not a static member of the class, so you need an object instance of the TScreen class. And such an object is provided for you - the global Screen object:
ShowMessage( Screen->FormCount );
This is stated in the documentation:
FMX.Forms.TScreen
There is a global variable, Screen, of type TScreen, which is instantiated for use by any application with a GUI. Use Screen to obtain information about the current state of the screen in an application.
FMX.Forms.Screen
extern DELPHI_PACKAGE TScreen* Screen;
Here's what works well:
ShowMessage(Screen->FormCount);
Screen is a global object, like Application. The compiler said that FormCount is not static method or smth.

Ember ember-views.render-double-modify

Using Ember.2.1.0-beta4
I am getting the "ember-views.render-double-modify" in a function triggered by the "didReceiveAttrs" of a subcomponent.
I tracked down the statement this.set('_columns', columns) that triggers the error. However, AFAIK this is the first time the attribute is modified.
To debug it, I created an observer for the modified attribute, and put a breakpoint there. However, the observer is only called once and the error is still there, so it looks like this is the first call.
How should I debug this -- is this an Ember bug, or are there other restrictions on setting attributes that aren't clear in the error? Note that the attribute is used in the component's template. Also the attribute is used in other computed attributes (e.g. _columns.#each.width and _columns.[]).
For posterity's sake, the answer in my case was: _columns is used in the template. Thus, for didReceiveAttrs of the subcomponent to be called, the previous value of _columns was already used.
The error message is a little misleading, but the idea, I think, is that once you start to render you can't change properties until you are done. If necessary, use Ember.run.scheduleOnce('afterRender', ...).

cfscript component function with object types in arguments and returntypes

I have a feeling this is a bug in CF9, from looking at this: How to specify argument attributes in CFscript? (CF9)
However, if not, I'm writing a cfscript component in CF9 (pure), and attempting to pass an argument as a type of user defined cfc.
public function init(required _lbr._core._sharing._access.accessLinkDAO oAccessLinkDAO) returntype="_lbr._core._sharing._access.accessLinkBusiness" {
But CF keeps coming back with:
You cannot use a variable reference with "." operators in this context
is this something broken with CF9 pure?
I have confirmed this is a bug in CF9.0 (and fixed in one of CF9.0.1 or CF9.0.2; probably 9.0.1).
However the fix is easy. The problem is only with the dotted paths, and as #ScottStroz points out, you don't need them. This works fine:
component {
public accessLinkBusiness function init(required accessLinkDAO oAccessLinkDAO) {
return this;
}
}
I've moved the return type simply because that's just the normal place for it: it'll work as attribute too (but that syntax is just awful).
If the CFCs you are referencing as return types or argument types aren't in the same dir as the CFC using them, use an import statement, eg in this case:
import _lbr._core._sharing._access.*;

ColdFusion function variable name and CfBuilder

I need to call a function of an object and pass it a variable. Because I need to make multiple call to function of this object I've tried to make one only handler that invoke the specific function by the form value I pass it. The code works, but CFBuilder show me that there is an error (missing semicolon on the last row). I'm on Railo.
local.myReport = seoUtility.init();
local.func = form.action;
local.report = local.myReport[local.func](form.user);
So the question is: this code is correct? I could simply ignore the cfbuilder error icon?
If you don't want CFBuilder to nag you about the syntax, you can change to this:
local.myReport = seoUtility.init();
local.func = local.myReport[form.action];
local.myReport.func = local.func;
local.report = local.myReport.func(form.user);
This sets local.func to the instance of seoUtility as a reference to the actual function you want to call, preserving its relationship to the parent object. This way the offending []() syntax isn't needed.
However, this only works if seoUtility.init() is returning a fresh instance every time, as opposed to a singleton shared by the application, in which case there would be a race condition on all calls to local.myReport.func().

Coldfusion 8 - mapping conflict causes "argument is not of interface type" error

I have been researching this, and cannot seem to find anything about it.
We work on CF8. When my coworker tried installing my latest code updates, he started seeing errors that the argument supplied to a function was not of the specified interface type. Worked fine for me. Same set up. Sometimes it works for him. Also have the problem on our dev server.
I have since been able to isolate and reproduce the problem locally.
Here is the set up.
I have 2 mappings on the server:
"webapp/" goes to c:\webroot\
"packages/" goes to c:\webroot\[domain]
Then I created an interface, call it ISubject and a component that implements it, called Person, and saved both under packages. Here is the declaration for Person:
cfcomponent implements="packages.ISubject"
Finally, there is a component, called SubjectMediator with a function, called setSubject, that wants an object of the ISubject interface type. Here is the argument declaration for setSubject:
cfargument name="subject_object" type="packages.ISubject"
To implement:
variables.person = createObject("component", "packages.Person").Init();
variables.subjectMediator = createObject("component", "packages.SubjectMediator ").Init();
variables.subjectMediator.setSubject(variables.person);
That last line throws the error that Person is not of type ISubject. If I do isInstanceOf() on Person against ISubject it validates fine.
So the reason this is happening? Dumping getMetaData(variables.person) shows me that the interface path is webapp.[domain].ISubject. And indeed, if I change the type attribute of the argument to use this path instead of packages.ISubject, all is fine again.
Coldfusion seems to be arbitrarily choosing which mapping to resolve the interface to, and then simply doing a string comparison for check the type argument?
Anyone had to contend with this? I need the webapp mapping, and I cannot change all references to "packages" to "webapp.[domain]." I also am not able in this instance to use an application-specific mapping for webapp. While any of these 3 options would circumvent the issue, I'm hoping someone has some insight...
The best I've got is to set argument type to "any" and then check isInstanceOf() inside the function... Seems like poor form.
Thanks,
Jen
Can you move the contents of the packages mapping to outside the webroot? This seems like the easiest way to fix it.
