Detailed Description

This interface is an SCF interface for encapsulating csObject.

Main creators of instances implementing this interface:

• Many objects implement this (especially objects in the 3D engine like meshes, lights, sectors, materials, ...)

Main ways to get pointers to this interface:

• Many objects have a QueryObject() method that you can use.
• scfQueryInterface() on the object.
• iObject::GetObjectParent()
• iObject::GetChild()
• iObjectIterator::Next()
• iObjectIterator::GetParentObj()

Member Function Documentation

virtual void iObject::AddNameChangeListener

(

iObjectNameChangeListener *

listener

)

[pure virtual]

Add a name change listener.

Implemented in csObject.

virtual iObject* iObject::GetChild	(	int	iInterfaceID,
		int	iVersion,
		const char *	Name = 0
	)			const [pure virtual]

Look for a child object that implements the given interface.

You can optionally pass a name to look for.

Implemented in csObject.

virtual iObject* iObject::GetChild

(

const char *

Name

)

const [pure virtual]

Return the first child object with the given name.

Implemented in csObject.

virtual iObject* iObject::GetChild	(	int	iInterfaceID,
		int	iVersion,
		const char *	Name,
		bool	FirstName
	)			const [pure virtual]

Look for a child object that implements the given interface.

You can optionally pass a name to look for. If FirstName is true then the method will stop at the first object with the requested name, even if it did not implement the requested type. Note that the returned object must still be queried for the requested type.

Deprecated:

Deprecated in 1.3. Use GetChild(const char*) if you need "first" functionality, GetChild(int, int, const char*) otherwise.

Implemented in csObject.

virtual uint iObject::GetID

(

)

const [pure virtual]

Get the unique ID associated with this object.

Implemented in csObject.

virtual csPtr<iObjectIterator> iObject::GetIterator

(

)

[pure virtual]

Return an iterator for all child objects.

Note that you should not remove child objects while iterating.

Implemented in csObject.

virtual const char* iObject::GetName

(

)

const [pure virtual]

Query object name.

Implemented in csPluginReference, and csObject.

virtual iObject* iObject::GetObjectParent

(

)

const [pure virtual]

Returns the parent iObject.

Implemented in csObject.

virtual void iObject::ObjAdd

(

iObject *

obj

)

[pure virtual]

Attach a new iObject to the tree.

virtual void iObject::ObjAddChildren

(

iObject *

Parent

)

[pure virtual]

Add all child objects of the given object.

virtual void iObject::ObjReleaseOld

(

iObject *

obj

)

[pure virtual]

Todo:

Investigate a way to remove this function.

virtual void iObject::ObjRemove

(

iObject *

obj

)

[pure virtual]

Remove an iObject from the tree.

virtual void iObject::ObjRemoveAll

(

)

[pure virtual]

Remove all child objects.

Implemented in csObject.

virtual void iObject::RemoveNameChangeListener

(

iObjectNameChangeListener *

listener

)

[pure virtual]

Remove a name change listener.

Implemented in csObject.

virtual void iObject::SetName

(

const char *

iName

)

[pure virtual]

Set object name.

Implemented in csObject.

virtual void iObject::SetObjectParent

(

iObject *

obj

)

[pure virtual]

Set the parent iObject.

Note that this only sets the 'parent' pointer but does not add the object as a child object.
