IStatus interface overview

File      : API\core\IStatus.h
Namespace : core

Description

Interface for supporting status or states. Most of scene elements (vertices, nodes etc.) are directly inherited from ZEntityBase and have status method to allow checking or changing items status or state. The rest of environment, that requires status is inherited from core::IStatus interface. This includes all tools, most of user interface elements (like menus, toolbar buttons, floaters and such).

Status is identified as a DWORD: bitwise-or combination of status bits.

Even if you unsure whether certain class need to inherit from core::IStatus, you can inherit it from a helper class core::CStatus.

Also, zmodeler exports helper functions to query IStatus on an interface and get it status:

// Declared in   : helpers\status.h
// uses namespace: core

//returns status bits combination on supplied interface
DWORD core::statusOf(ZUnknown* pUnk);
