Interface Setting<T>

Type Parameters:
T - the type of the setting, usually Integer, String or Boolean
All Known Implementing Classes:
BooleanSetting, DoubleSetting, IntegerSetting, PasswordSetting, StringSetting
public interface Setting<T>
Setting defines a setting for the application. 3rd party developers can implement this interface to be able to have their custom settings visible in the UI, usable in their other 3rd party components, such as Views and handled automatically by Solibri. It is not normal to implement this interface. Usually developers should extend the abstract classes that implement this.

      Parameters:
      value - the value to be checked for validity
      Returns:
      true if the given value is valid, false otherwise
