# ScXMLExecutableElt(3)

base class for all SCXML elements with executable content.

## NAME

ScXMLExecutableElt - base class for all SCXML elements with executable content.

## SYNOPSIS

\#include \<Inventor/scxml/ScXMLExecutableElt.h\>

Inherits **ScXMLElt**.

Inherited by **ScXMLAssignElt**, **ScXMLElseElt**, **ScXMLElseIfElt**, **ScXMLEventElt**, **ScXMLIfElt**, **ScXMLInvokeElt**, **ScXMLLogElt**, **ScXMLScriptElt**, **ScXMLSendElt**, and **ScXMLValidateElt**.

### 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. virtual void **copyContents** (const **ScXMLElt** \*rhs)\
 virtual void **execute** (**ScXMLStateMachine** \*statemachine) const\

Public Member Functions inherited from **ScXMLElt** void **setXMLAttribute** (const char \*attribute, const char \*value)\
 const char \* **getXMLAttribute** (const char \*attribute) const\
 virtual SbBool **handleXMLAttributes** (void)\
 virtual const **ScXMLElt** \* **search** (const char \*attrname, const char \*attrvalue) const\
 **ScXMLElt** \* **clone** (void) const\
 virtual void **setContainer** (**ScXMLElt** \*container)\
 **ScXMLElt** \* **getContainer** (void) const\
 SbBool **isContainedIn** (const **ScXMLElt** \*object) const\

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 void **cleanClass** (void)\

Static Public Member Functions inherited from **ScXMLElt** static **SoType** **getClassTypeId** (void)\
 static void **initClass** (void)\
 static void **cleanClass** (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.

### Additional Inherited Members

Static Protected Member Functions inherited from **ScXMLElt** static void **registerClassType** (const char \*xmlns, const char \*classname, **SoType** type)\
 static void **registerInvokeClassType** (const char \*xmlns, const char \*targettype, const char \*source, **SoType** type)\

Static Protected Member Functions inherited from **ScXMLObject** static void **registerClassType** (const char \*xmlns, const char \*classname, **SoType** type)\
 static void **registerInvokeClassType** (const char \*xmlns, const char \*targettype, const char \*source, **SoType** type)\

## Detailed Description

base class for all SCXML elements with executable content.

## Member Function Documentation

### virtual SoType ScXMLExecutableElt::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 **ScXMLElt**.

Implemented in **ScXMLAssignElt**, **ScXMLElseElt**, **ScXMLElseIfElt**, **ScXMLEventElt**, **ScXMLIfElt**, **ScXMLInvokeElt**, **ScXMLLogElt**, **ScXMLScriptElt**, **ScXMLSendElt**, and **ScXMLValidateElt**.

### void ScXMLExecutableElt::copyContents (const ScXMLElt \* rhs) \[virtual\]

Reimplemented from **ScXMLElt**.
