Description

The class standard-i-connection-point-container provides a complete implementation of the Connection Point protocols. It implements the IConnectionPointContainer interface and creates connection points for each interface given by the :outgoing-interfaces initarg.

If a class defined with define-automation-component macro specifies the :source-interfaces option or has interfaces with the "source" attribute in its coclass then it must inherit from standard-i-connection-point-container somehow. define-automation-component passes the appropriate initargs to initialize the class.

The macro do-connections can be used to iterate over the connections (sinks) for a given interface.

Example

Given the class definition

(define-automation-component clonable-component ()

    ()

  (:interfaces i-clonable)

  (:source-interfaces i-clonable-events)

  )

then

(typep (make-instance 'clonable-component)

       'standard-i-connection-point-container)

=> t
