Detailed Description

Extends IDaylightSystem with new functionality This interface can be obtained when the daylight system is created.

See IDaylightSystemFactory2::Create In the case of an already existent daylight system, this interface can be obtained from the base object of the daylight assembly:

Object* daylightAssemblyObj = ...
BaseInterface* bi = daylightAssemblyObj->GetInterface(IID_DAYLIGHT_SYSTEM2);
IDaylightSystem2* ds = dynamic_cast<IDaylightSystem2*>(bi);

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ DaylightControlType

enum DaylightControlType

Remarks: The DaylightControlType enumeration is for specifying how the daylight system is controlled,manually, from a specified date and time or via a weather file.

Enumerator
eDateAndTime
eManual
eWeatherFile

    {
        eDateAndTime = 0, eManual = 1, eWeatherFile = 2
    };
