## Detailed Description

A generic csObject class.

Any csObject can have any number of iObject children attached to it. You can use scfQueryInterface to get interfaces from the child objects.

Definition at line 42 of file csobject.h.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

csObject::csObject | ( | iBase * | pParent = `0` | ) |

| Initialize the csObject.

csObject::csObject | ( | csObject & | o | ) |

| Copy constructor. The copied object contains all children of the original object, but has a new ID and is not automatically added to the original object's parent.

virtual csObject::~csObject | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Destroy this object and the associated children.

## Member Function Documentation

virtual void csObject::AddNameChangeListener | ( | iObjectNameChangeListener * | listener | ) | `[virtual]`

| Add a name change listener. Implements iObject.

void csObject::FireNameChangeListeners | ( | const char * | oldname,
|  | const char * | newname
| ) | `[protected]`

| Fire name change listeners.

virtual iObject* csObject::GetChild | ( | const char * | Name | ) | const`[virtual]`

| Return the first child object with the given name. Implements iObject.

virtual iObject* csObject::GetChild | ( | int | iInterfaceID,
|  | int | iVersion,
|  | const char * | Name = `0`,
|  | bool | FirstName = `false`
| ) | const`[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. Note that the returned object will be IncRef'ed. Implements iObject.

virtual uint csObject::GetID | ( |  | ) | const`[virtual]`

| Get the unique ID associated with this object. Implements iObject.

virtual csPtr<iObjectIterator> csObject::GetIterator | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Return an iterator for all child objects. Note that you should not remove child objects while iterating. Implements iObject.

virtual const char* csObject::GetName | ( |  | ) | const`[virtual]`

| Query object name. Implements iObject.

virtual iObject* csObject::GetObjectParent | ( |  | ) | const`[virtual]`

| Returns the parent iObject. Implements iObject.

void csObject::InitializeObject | ( |  | ) | `[protected]`

| Private initialization function.

virtual void csObject::ObjAdd | ( | iObject * | obj | ) | `[virtual]`

| Attach a new iObject to the tree. Implements iObject.

virtual void csObject::ObjAddChildren | ( | iObject * | Parent | ) | `[virtual]`

| Add all child objects of the given object. Implements iObject.

virtual void csObject::ObjRemove | ( | iObject * | obj | ) | `[virtual]`

| Deletes the given object, removing it from the object tree. Implements iObject.

virtual void csObject::ObjRemoveAll | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Deletes all objects, removing them from the object tree. Implements iObject.

virtual void csObject::RemoveNameChangeListener | ( | iObjectNameChangeListener * | listener | ) | `[virtual]`

| Remove a name change listener. Implements iObject.

virtual void csObject::SetName | ( | const char * | iName | ) | `[virtual]`

| Set object name. Implements iObject.

virtual void csObject::SetObjectParent | ( | iObject * |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Set the parent csObject. Implements iObject.
