38 * @brief The ObjectRegistry notifies it's observers when an object is created.
40 * Handle to the created Object is passed in the call back function.
41 * The Handle is passed as Dali::Object handle, which can be DownCast
42 * to the appropriate type.
44 * Care should be taken to not store the handle in the Observer, as this will
45 * have adverse effect on the life time of the Internal Object. The Handle
46 * should only be used to connect to signals

75 * @brief Allows the creation of an empty objectRegistry handle.
77 * To retrieve the current objectRegistry,
78 * this handle can be set using Stage::GetCurrent().GetObjectRegistry().
85 * This is non-virtual since derived Handle types must not contain data or virtual methods.

119 * @brief This signal is emitted when an object is destroyed.
121 * WARNING: Since this signal is emitted when the object is
122 * in the process of being destroyed, the RefObject pointer
123 * passed in the signal should not be modified in anyways.
124 * And should NOT be used to create an handle. which will
125 * affect the life time of this destroyed object and leads to
126 * undefined behaviour.
128 * The only intended use is for Toolkit controls which want to
129 * keep track of objects being created and destroyed for internal
132 * A callback of the following type may be connected:
