ValueMap Class Reference

---

Detailed Description

Represents a special container to hold key-value pairs, similar to an associative array.

A value map is set of name-value pairs defined for a ShaderDef, a ShaderParamDef, a ShaderArrayParamDef, or a MetaShaderRendererDef. This is the equivalent of a dictionary or associative array.

Tip:

There is no GetCount function implemented on this object, but you can use the ValueMap::GetAll function which returns the list of names and the list of values defined in this ValueMap.

Member Function Documentation

bool IsA

(

siClassID

in_ClassID

)

const [virtual]

Returns true if a given class type is compatible with this API class.

Parameters:

in_ClassID

class type.

Returns:

true if the class is compatible, false otherwise.

Reimplemented from SIObject.

siClassID GetClassID

(

)

const [virtual]

Returns the type of the API class.

Returns:

The class type.

Reimplemented from SIObject.

ValueMap& operator=

(

const ValueMap &

in_obj

)

Creates an object from another object. The newly created object is set to empty if the input object is not compatible.

Parameters:

in_obj

constant class object.

Returns:

The new ValueMap object.

ValueMap& operator=

(

const CRef &

in_ref

)

Creates an object from a reference object. The newly created object is set to empty if the input reference object is not compatible.

Parameters:

in_ref

constant class object.

Returns:

The new ValueMap object.

Reimplemented from SIObject.

CValue Get

(

const CString &

in_name

)

const

Returns the value that matches the specified name.

Warning:

If the value is undefined, this method throws an error. You can work around this limitation by accessing the names and values array using the same index.

Parameters:

in_name

the name of the value to retrieve.

Returns:

the value matching the specified name

ValueMap::Set, ValueMap::GetAll

Since:

9.0 (2011)

CStatus GetAll	(	CValueArray &	out_names,
		CValueArray &	out_values
	)		const

Returns the lists of all names and all values defined in this ValueMap in two separate output arrays.

Parameters:

out_names	array of names
out_values	array of values

Returns:

Success/failure

See also:

ValueMap::Set, ValueMap::Get, ValueMap::Remove

Since:

9.0 (2011)

CStatus Remove

(

const CString &

in_name

)

Removes the value that matches the specified name. If no item matches that name, nothing happens.

Parameters:

in_name

The name of the value to remove.

Returns:

Success/failure

See also:

ValueMap::GetAll

Since:

9.0 (2011)

CStatus Set	(	const CString &	in_name,
		const CValue &	in_value
	)

Sets the value that matches the specified name. If no entry exists matching this name, it automatically adds the name-value pair. If an entry matching that name already exists, the value is updated.

Parameters:

in_name	The name of the value to set.
in_value	The value to set.

Returns:

Success/failure
