Dynamic view-related macro (component side)

This macro is used with classes that derive from IlsRpObject together with the pair of macros ILS_RP_OBJECT_BEGIN/ILS_RP_OBJECT_END.It allows you to declare these classes to the representation model interpreter, which is implemented in the Rogue Wave Server libraries. Using this declaration, the representation model interpreter can create representation objects whose C++ type corresponds to the object representation types described in a view specification.

In the following dynamic view type specification, for example, the class of representation objects TreeGadget should be declared to the representation model interpreter so that when a panel representation is created in the view NetworkTree, the interpreter will instantiate an object of type TreeGadget in the application component.

The macro ILS_RP_OBJECT_DECL must be added to any classes deriving from IlsRpObject as shown below:

It defines the following function:

If this function takes a reference to a representation object as its parameter, it returns a pointer to TreeGadget if the object is of type TreeGadget or of a derived type. Otherwise, it returns a null pointer.
