      Parameters:
      value - The input value to convert to native value.
      index - The index in the array returned by getValueClasses(), or -1 if not found.

      paramValue in class GProp<Value>
      Parameters:
      value - The property value.
      Returns:
      The String representation of the value.

    • onPropParentChanged

      getKString in interface IKStringHolder<Value>
      Returns:
      The KString held by the property if the value is of KString type, null for none.

      Specified by:
      getDirectReferencedTargetSet in interface IKStringHolder<Value>
      Specified by:
      getDirectReferencedTargetSet in interface IReferencingGProp
      Returns:
