Detailed Description
Class factory that any plug-in defines for creating class instances: IPluginFactory.
- [plug imp]
From the host's point of view a plug-in module is a factory which can create a certain kind of object(s). The interface IPluginFactory provides methods to get information about the classes exported by the plug-in and a mechanism to create instances of these classes (that usually define the IPluginBase interface).
An implementation is provided in public.sdk/source/common/pluginfactory.cpp

Member Function Documentation
◆ getFactoryInfo()
|
pure virtual |
Fill a PFactoryInfo structure with information about the plug-in vendor.
◆ countClasses()
|
pure virtual |
Returns the number of exported classes by this factory.
If you are using the CPluginFactory implementation provided by the SDK, it returns the number of classes you registered with CPluginFactory::registerClass.
◆ getClassInfo()
|
pure virtual |
Fill a PClassInfo structure with information about the class at the specified index.
◆ createInstance()
Create a new class instance.
