## Public Member Functions

virtual SoType | getTypeId (void) const =0
| Returns the type identification of an object derived from a class inheriting SoBase. This is used for runtime type checking and "downward" casting.

Public Member Functions inherited from ScXMLObject
SbBool | isOfType (SoType type) const
| Returns `TRUE` if the type of this object is either of the same type or inherited from type.

## Static Public Member Functions

static SoType | getClassTypeId (void)
static void | initClass (void)

Static Public Member Functions inherited from ScXMLObject
static SoType | getClassTypeId (void)
| This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class.
static void | initClass (void)
| Sets up initialization for data common to all instances of this class, like submitting necessary information to the Coin type system.
static void | cleanClass (void)
| Does the opposite of initClass, deallocates any class specific resources and resets the class to an uninitialized state with respect to the Coin type system.

## Detailed Description

base class for event targets for inter-system event communication

This class manages inter-communication between SCXML systems and systems intended for communicating with such systems. It also manages the external event queue for such systems (systems may also have internal event queues).

  Coin 3.1

## Member Function Documentation

## getTypeId()

virtual SoType ScXMLEventTarget::getTypeId | ( | void |  | ) | const

pure virtual

Returns the type identification of an object derived from a class inheriting SoBase. This is used for runtime type checking and "downward" casting.

See also
  SoBase::getTypeId() const

Implements ScXMLObject.

Implemented in ScXMLStateMachine, SoScXMLDollyTarget, SoScXMLFlightControlTarget, SoScXMLMiscTarget, SoScXMLMotionTarget, SoScXMLNavigationTarget, SoScXMLPanTarget, SoScXMLRotateTarget, SoScXMLSeekTarget, SoScXMLSpinTarget, SoScXMLStateMachine, and SoScXMLZoomTarget.

## getCurrentEvent()

virtual const ScXMLEvent * ScXMLEventTarget::getCurrentEvent | ( | void |  | ) | const

inline virtual

This method returns the current event during event processing, and NULL when not processing events.

Event processing is in special cases done with NULL as the current event, as for instance during state machine initialization.

## queueEvent() [1/2]

void ScXMLEventTarget::queueEvent | ( | const ScXMLEvent * | event | ) |

virtual

Queues an ScXMLEvent event. The event is copied, and can be deleted as soon as the function returns.

## queueEvent() [2/2]

void ScXMLEventTarget::queueEvent | ( | const SbName & | eventid | ) |

virtual

Queues an ScXMLEvent event that has the given eventid as its event name.

## setCurrentEvent()

void ScXMLEventTarget::setCurrentEvent | ( | const ScXMLEvent * | event | ) |

protected virtual

Sets a pointer for the event that is 'current' during event processing. This is an internal method, and the updating of the current event should be handled automatically.

## processOneEvent()

SbBool ScXMLEventTarget::processOneEvent | ( | const ScXMLEvent * | event | ) |

protected virtual

This function processes one event. The base class implementation does nothing.

Reimplemented in ScXMLStateMachine, SoScXMLDollyTarget, SoScXMLFlightControlTarget, SoScXMLMiscTarget, SoScXMLMotionTarget, SoScXMLPanTarget, SoScXMLRotateTarget, SoScXMLSeekTarget, SoScXMLSpinTarget, and SoScXMLZoomTarget.
