Member Function Documentation

virtual LifetimeType LifetimeControl ( ) [inline, virtual]

Remarks:: This method allows inquiries into the actual lifetime policy of a client and provide a server-controlled delete notify callback.

Returns:: One of the following LifetimeTypes:

noRelease

Do not call release, use interface as long as you like.

immediateRelease

The interface is only good for one calls. The release is implied so a call to release is not required.

wantsRelease

The clients are controlling the lifetime, so the interface needs a Release() when the client has finished. This is the default.

serverControlled

The server controls the lifetime and will use the InterfaceNotifyCallback to inform the code when it is gone.

Reimplemented from IDXDataBridge.

{ return noRelease; }

virtual Interface_ID GetID ( ) [inline, virtual]

Remarks:: The returns the unique ID for this interface. By default it will return VIEWPORT_SHADER_CLIENT_INTERFACE

Reimplemented from IDXDataBridge.

{ return VIEWPORT_SHADER9_CLIENT_INTERFACE; }

virtual float GetDXVersion ( ) [pure virtual]
