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.

Examples

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
