Class TIpcArgs

class TIpcArgs;

Description

A Version 2 client/server class that clients use to package the arguments to be sent to a server.

The object can package up to 4 arguments together with information about each argument's type, width and accessibility; it is also possible for the package to contain zero arguments. In addition to the default constructor, the class has four templated constructors, allowing an object of this type to be constructed for 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 arguments.

Internally, the arguments are stored in a simple TInt array. Consecutive arguments in a constructor's parameter list are put into consecutive slots in the array. The Set() overloaded functions can be used to set argument values into specific slots within this array.

inline TIpcArgs();

Description

Default constructor.

An argument package constructed using this constructor has no arguments; however, arguments can subsequently be set into this argument package object using the Set() member functions.

inline TIpcArgs(T0 a0);

Description

A templated constructor that constructs the argument package; it takes 1 argument.

Parameters

T0 a0 An argument of general class type T0 to be contained by this object.

inline TIpcArgs(T0 a0, T1 a1);

Description

A templated constructor that constructs the argument package; it takes 2 arguments.

Parameters

T0 a0 An argument of general class type T0 to be contained by this object. T1 a1 An argument of general class type T1 to be contained by this object.

inline TIpcArgs(T0 a0, T1 a1, T2 a2);

Description

A templated constructor that constructs the argument package; it takes 3 arguments.

Parameters

T0 a0 An argument of general class type T0 to be contained by this object. T1 a1 An argument of general class type T1 to be contained by this object. T2 a2 An argument of general class type T2 to be contained by this object.

inline TIpcArgs(T0 a0, T1 a1, T2 a2, T3 a3);

Description

A templated constructor that constructs the argument package; it takes 4 arguments.

Parameters

T0 a0 An argument of general class type T0 to be contained by this object. T1 a1 An argument of general class type T1 to be contained by this object. T2 a2 An argument of general class type T2 to be contained by this object. T3 a3 An argument of general class type T3 to be contained by this object.

inline void Set(TInt aIndex, TNothing);

Description

Sets an argument to default value and type.

Parameters

TInt aIndex TNothing

inline void Set(TInt aIndex, TInt aValue);

Description

Sets an argument value of TInt type.

Parameters

TInt aIndex An index value that identifies the slot in the array of arguments into which the argument value is to be placed. This must be a value in the range 0 to 3. TInt aValue The argument value.

inline void Set(TInt aIndex, const TAny *aValue);

Description

Sets an argument value of TAny* type.

Parameters

TInt aIndex An index value that identifies the slot in the array of arguments into which the argument value is to be placed. This must be a value in the range 0 to 3. const TAny *aValue The argument value.

inline void Set(TInt aIndex, RHandleBase aValue);

Description

Sets an argument value of RHandleBase type.

Parameters

TInt aIndex An index value that identifies the slot in the array of arguments into which the argument value is to be placed. This must be a value in the range 0 to 3. RHandleBase aValue The argument value.

inline void Set(TInt aIndex, const TDesC8 *aValue);

Description

Sets an argument value TDesC8* type.

Parameters

TInt aIndex An index value that identifies the slot in the array of arguments into which the argument value is to be placed. This must be a value in the range 0 to 3. const TDesC8 *aValue The argument value.

inline void Set(TInt aIndex, const TDesC16 *aValue);

Description

Sets an argument value of TDesC16* type.

Parameters

TInt aIndex An index value that identifies the slot in the array of arguments into which the argument value is to be placed. This must be a value in the range 0 to 3. const TDesC16 *aValue The argument value.

inline void Set(TInt aIndex, TDes8 *aValue);

Description

Sets an argument value of TDes8* type.

Parameters

TInt aIndex An index value that identifies the slot in the array of arguments into which the argument value is to be placed. This must be a value in the range 0 to 3. TDes8 *aValue The argument value.

inline void Set(TInt aIndex, TDes16 *aValue);

Description

Sets an argument value of TDes16* type.

Parameters

TInt aIndex An index value that identifies the slot in the array of arguments into which the argument value is to be placed. This must be a value in the range 0 to 3. TDes16 *aValue The argument value.

TNothing

Description

Indicates a Null argument.

ENothing An enum value that can be used to indicate an empty or unused argument to a server. For example:                   TIpcArgs args(arg1, TIpcArgs::ENothing, arg2); This argument will have an undefined value when the server receives the message.

TInt iArgs;

Description

The location where the message arguments are stored.

There is no reason to access this data member directly and it should be considered as internal.

TInt iFlags;

Description

The location where the flag bits describing the argument types are stored.

The symbolic values describing the argument types are internal to Symbian, and there is therefore no reason to access this data member directly. It should be considered as internal.
