Detailed Description

List of interface IDs to be used with void* Animatable::GetInterface(ULONG id) Checking whether an animatable implements a certain interface is the recommended way for determining if that animatable can be used as the type represented by that interface.

For example, given an Animatable* anim, one can find out whether it can be used as a controller by simply asking for the I_CONTROL interface. In order to simplify the task of querying for the most common interfaces, use one of the predefined macros, such as

#define GetControlInterface(anim) ((Control*)anim->GetInterface(I_CONTROL)).

Example of using the predefined macros:

Animatable* anim = NULL;
// Code that initializes anim ... 
Control *c = GetControlInterface(anim);

Note: These interfaces do NOT need to be released with Animatable::ReleaseInterface().; The ids of interfaces supported by 3rd party classes derived from Animatable, should be greater than I_USERINTERFACE
