service TypeDescriptionManager
Description This service manages type descriptions and acts as a central access point to every type description. It delegates calls for demanded types to subsequent TypeDescriptionProviders and may cache type descriptions. Using cppuhelper's bootstrapping routines bootstrapping an initial component context, there is a singleton accessible via key "/singletons/com.sun.star.reflection.theTypeDescriptionManager". This singleton object is hooked into the C UNO runtime typelib and lives until the context is shut down. See also TypeDescriptionProvider, XTypeDescription

Exported Interfaces - Summary
::com::sun::star::container::XHierarchicalNameAccess | Interface to retrieve type descriptions. In addition to the semantics specified for the corresponding interface of the TypeDescriptionProvider service (which changed slightly for LibreOffice 4.1; see there), this interface allows to retrieve the following entities: (details)
::com::sun::star::container::XSet | You can manually add or remove a providers via this interface.
::com::sun::star::lang::XComponent | Interface to signal shutdown to the manager. This signals all providers to shut down, because usually each provider references its manager, listening for disposing events. (details)
XTypeDescriptionEnumerationAccess | Interface for creating enumerations for type descriptions supported by this TypeDescriptionManager (details)

::com::sun::star::container::XHierarchicalNameAccess
Description Interface to retrieve type descriptions. In addition to the semantics specified for the corresponding interface of the TypeDescriptionProvider service (which changed slightly for LibreOffice 4.1; see there), this interface allows to retrieve the following entities: The simple types are accessible via `"void"`, `"boolean"`, `"byte"`, `"short"`, `"unsigned short"`, `"long"`, `"unsigned long"`, `"hyper"`, `"unsigned hyper"`, `"float"`, `"double"`, `"char"`, `"string"`, `"type"`, and `"any"`. Sequence types are accessible via `"[]ComponentType"` Instantiated polymorphic struct types are accessible via `"StructType<Parameter1,…,Parametern>"`. Members of interface types are accessible via `"InterfaceType::Member"`. Even though the name of this interface suggests that the used type names are hierarchic, this need not be the case. (For example, consider the names of instantiated polymorphic struct types, like `"Struct<long>"`.)
::com::sun::star::container::XSet
Description You can manually add or remove a providers via this interface.
::com::sun::star::lang::XComponent
Usage Restrictions optional Description Interface to signal shutdown to the manager. This signals all providers to shut down, because usually each provider references its manager, listening for disposing events.
XTypeDescriptionEnumerationAccess
Usage Restrictions optional Description Interface for creating enumerations for type descriptions supported by this TypeDescriptionManager Since OOo 1.1.2
