# ScXMLObject(3)

Base class for all SCXML objects.

## NAME

ScXMLObject - Base class for all SCXML objects.

## SYNOPSIS

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

Inherited by **ScXMLDataObj**, **ScXMLDocument**, **ScXMLElt**, **ScXMLEvaluator**, **ScXMLEvent**, and **ScXMLEventTarget**.

### 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. 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)\
 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.

### Static Protected Member Functions

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 objects.

**Since**

Coin 3.0

## Member Function Documentation

### SoType ScXMLObject::getClassTypeId (void ) \[static\]

This static method returns the **SoType** object associated with objects of this class.

**SoBase::getClassTypeId**

### virtual SoType ScXMLObject::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.

### void ScXMLObject::initClass (void ) \[static\]

Sets up initialization for data common to all instances of this class, like submitting necessary information to the Coin type system.

**SoBase::initClass()**

### SbBool ScXMLObject::isOfType (SoType type) const

Returns TRUE if the type of this object is either of the same type or inherited from *type*.

### void ScXMLObject::registerClassType (const char \* xmlns, const char \* classname, SoType type) \[static\], \[protected\]

Internal method. Friendly forwarding for **ScXMLObject** subclasses.

### void ScXMLObject::registerInvokeClassType (const char \* xmlns, const char \* targettype, const char \* source, SoType type) \[static\], \[protected\]

Internal method. Friendly forwarding for **ScXMLObject** subclasses.
