Class TTypeUid

class TTypeUid : public TUid;

Description

Part of the object provider mechanism, this class encapsulates the Uid that identifies the type of object that an object provider is to get.

The class is also used to encapsulate a pointer to the object that the object provider has found.

An object that is intended to be capable of being retrieved by the object provider mechanism must include enum {ETypeId = 0xabcdefgh}; in its class definition, where 0xabcdefgh is the Uid value. The macro DECLARE_TYPE_ID can be used to do this.

An instance of this class is passed to the MObjectProvider::MopSupplyObject() function implemented by an object provider. A TTypeUid::Ptr is also returned by this function.

Derivation

• TUid - A globally unique 32-bit number
• TTypeUid - Part of the object provider mechanism, this class encapsulates the Uid that identifies the type of object that an object provider is to get

inline TTypeUid(TInt aUid);

Description

Constructor that takes a Uid value.

Parameters

TInt aUid The Uid value that defines the type of object that an object provider is to get.

static inline Ptr Null();

Description

Constructs a Ptr which encapsulates a NULL pointer.

Return value

Ptr The constructed Ptr object

inline Ptr MakePtr(T *aT) const;

Description

Constructs a Ptr which encapsulates the specified object pointer.

Parameters

T *aT A pointer to the object which is to be encapsulated.

Return value

Ptr The constructed Ptr object

class Ptr;

Description

Encapsulates a pointer to an object fetched by an object provider.

The class has no public constructor. TTypeUid::MakePtr() or TTypeUid::Null() must be used to construct instances of this class.
