SYNOPSIS

#include "dbapi.h"
 
DISPATCH_FACTORY()
 
<input parameters>

<output parameters>

DESCRIPTION

The DISPATCH_FACTORY() macro is used to dispatch factory methods passed to the object. This macro should always be included at the top of each defined class. After a factory method is dispatched by this macro, execution is returned to Recital. The Recital engine uses these factory methods for introspection of the class.

EXAMPLE

The following example adds a DISPATCH_FACTORY() method to a class called clsMyClass.

Example Recital program:

test = newobject("myclass")
// Introspect the object and display its properties and methods
display memory like test

Example in 'C' object:

#include "dbapi.h"
 
DEFINE_CLASS(clsMyClass)
{
	/* Dispatch factory methods and return */
	DISPATCH_FACTORY();
 
	/* Dispatch constructor and return */
	DISPATCH_METHOD(clsMyClass, Constructor);
 
	/* Dispatch destructor and return */
	DISPATCH_METHOD(clsMyClass, Destructor);
}
