Bitmap Class Map Macros

The bitmap class map macros are provided to assist in connecting the different LEADTOOLS C++ Class Library classes with classes you derive from LBitmap or LBitmapBase. The mapped classes are created "on demand", that is, no class object will be created if you do not request that class object from the bitmap object.

Connecting different LEADTOOLS C++ Class Library classes to the bitmap class object makes it easy to use these classes with the object when programming applications.

Every LEADTOOLS C++ Class Library class you derive from these bitmap classes must declare a class map. This is done through the LEAD_DECLARE_CLASS_MAP() macro in the header file that contains the declaration for the derived class. In the implementation file for that class the user must use the LEAD_START_CLASS_MAP(ClassName,ClassParent) , LEAD_INIT_(ClassName) and LEAD_END_CLASS_MAP(ClassName,ClassParent) macros respectively.

Class maps completely support inheritance. If a mapped class is not found then the mapped class of the parent class will be used. Any inherited classes will use the newly mapped classes or the parent mapped classes if the child does not have a mapped class of the same type. This gives you flexibility in programming your applications while using different class maps for each derived bitmap class.

## LEAD_DECLARE_CLASS_MAP()

Use this macro to declare a class map for your derived LEAD bitmap class. This macro will declare different functions that you can use to get the corresponding mapped class object. The functions that this macro declares are:

Class Function
virtual LDialogBase* DialogBase(); //for the mapped LDialogBase or derived class
virtual LDialogImage * DialogImage(); //for the mapped LDialogImage or derived class
virtual LDialogFile * DialogFile(); //for the mapped LDialogFile or derived class
virtual LDialogImageEffect * DialogImageEffect(); //for the mapped LDialogImageEffect or derived class
virtual LDialogColor * DialogColor(); //for the mapped LDialogColor or derived class
virtual LDialogDocument * DialogDocument(); //for the mapped LDialogDocument or derived class
virtual LDialogWeb * DialogWeb(); //for the mapped LDialogWeb or derived class
virtual LDialogEffect * DialogEffect(); //for the mapped LDialogEffect or derived class
virtual LMarker* Marker(); //for the mapped LMarker or derived class
Virtual LBitmapRgn* Region(); //for the mapped LBitmapRgn or derived class
virtual LPaint* Paint(); //for the mapped LPaint or derived class
virtual LPaintEffect* PaintEffect(); //for the mapped LPaintEffect or derived class
virtual LTwain * Twain(); //for the mapped LTwain or derived class
virtual LMemoryFile* MemoryFile(); //for the mapped LMemoryFile or derived class
virtual LFile* File(); //for the mapped LFile or derived class
virtual LPrint* Print(); //for the mapped LPrint or derived class
virtual LScreenCapture* ScreenCapture(); //for the mapped LScreenCapture or derived class
virtual LBarCode BarCode(); //for the mapped LBarCode or derived class.

Example:
For example in the header file of the LBitmapBase LEAD bitmap declaration this macro is used as follows: 

class LBitmapBase: public LBase 
{ 
   LEAD_DECLARE_CLASS_MAP(); 
   //. 
   //. 
   //. 
}

LEAD_START_CLASS_MAP(ClassName,ClassParent)

Use this macro to start your class map implementation for your derived LEAD bitmap class object. This is done in the implementation file of your bitmap class.

Example:
For example in the LEADTOOLS C++ Class Library class LBitmapBase implementation, this macro is used as follows: 

LEAD_START_CLASS_MAP(LBitmapBase,LBase)

For the user derived bitmap class (LUserBitmap) 

LEAD_START_CLASS_MAP(LUserBitmap,LParentBitmapClassName)   
LEAD_END_CLASS_MAP(LUserBitmap,LParentBitmapClassName)

LEAD_END_CLASS_MAP(ClassName,ClassParent)

Use this macro to end your class map implementation for your derived LEAD bitmap class object. This is done in the implementation file of your bitmap class.

Example:
For example in the LEADTOOLS C++ Class Library class LBitmapBase implementation, this macro is used as follows: 

LEAD_START_CLASS_MAP(LBitmapBase,LBase)   
LEAD_END_CLASS_MAP(LBitmapBase,LBase)

For the user derived bitmap class (LUserBitmap) 

LEAD_START_CLASS_MAP(LUserBitmap,LParentBitmapClassName)   
LEAD_END_CLASS_MAP(LUserBitmap,LParentBitmapClassName)

LEAD_INIT_xxx (ClassName)

Use these macros in your class map implementation of your derived LEAD bitmap class object to map different classes to your bitmap object. This is done in the implementation file of your bitmap class.

The available LEAD_INIT_xxx macros are:

Macro Description
LEAD_INIT_LFile() to map a LFile class
LEAD_INIT_LTwain() to map a LTwain class
LEAD_INIT_LPrint() to map a LPrint class

LEAD_INIT_LDiaolgDocument() to map a LDialogDocument class
LEAD_INIT_LDiaolgEffect() to map a LDialogEffect class
LEAD_INIT_LDiaolgFile() to map a LDialogFile class
LEAD_INIT_LMarker(LMarker) to map a LMarker class.
LEAD_INIT_LDiaolg() to map a LDialog class
LEAD_INIT_LBitmapRgn() to map a LBitmapRgn class
LEAD_INIT_LMemoryFile() to map a LMemoryFile class
