Detailed description:

Mother class of all REDsdk objects.

REDsdk makes an extensive use of the interface concept. Every object in REDsdk inherits the RED::IREDObject class providing an explicit casting mechanism made of a collection of As methods. Giving an interface descriptor (RED::CID), the user can retrieve a pointer on an interface if the object implements it.

Interface classes are prefixed with a 'I' in REDsdk.

There are two ways for retrieving interfaces on RED::IREDObject instances:

(we assume that resmgr is a valid pointer to a RED::Object instance)

  RED::IResourceManager* iresmgr = resmgr->As< RED::IResourceManager >();

or

  RED::IResourceManager* iresmgr = (RED::IResourceManager*)resmgr->As( RED::IResourceManager::GetClassID() );

Note that const and non-const definitions exist for both methods.

template< class T > public const T * RED::IREDObject::As

(

) const

Template version of the as const method.

Simply set T to be the class you want to retrieve an interface to.

Returns:

A pointer to a const instance of class T on success, NULL otherwise.
