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.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ValueMap | ( |  | ) |

Default constructor.

~ValueMap | ( |  | ) |

Default destructor.

ValueMap | ( | const CRef & | in_ref | ) |

Constructor.

Parameters:

  in_ref | constant reference object.

ValueMap | ( | const ValueMap & | in_obj | ) |

Copy constructor.

Parameters:

  in_obj | constant class object.

## 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

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

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

Since:

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
