Function Documentation

IRenderElementRequirements* Get_RenderElementRequirements ( IRenderElement *  element )

inline

This returns the IRenderElementRequirements interface for a given render element.

This method checks for element being NULL and return directly NULL if its the case.

Parameters

[in]

element

- The render element for which the IRenderElementRequirements interface is wanted.

Returns

- the IRenderElementRequirements interface for this element or NULL if element is NULL.

                                                                                          {

    return (element != NULL) ? static_cast<IRenderElementRequirements*>(element->GetInterface(IRENDERELEMENTREQUIREMENTS_INTERFACE_ID)) : NULL;
}
