Detailed Description

Base Class for Ecom Style Converters The methods in CConverterBase2 are inherited from CConverterBase

There are two flavours of conversion methods:

the synchronous interfaces, ConvertL() and ConvertObjectL(), which perform the specified conversion and then return

the asynchronous interfaces, ConvertAL() and ConvertObjectAL(), which initialise the converter object, and allow the client code to call DoConvertL() a number of times until the conversion is complete or abandoned.

CancelConvert ( )

IMPORT_C void

CancelConvert

(

)

[virtual]

Reimplemented from CConverterBase::CancelConvert()

Cleans up a conversion that has been prepared or is in progress.

It should free any resources and reset the converter object to an initial state.

The default is to do nothing.

Capabilities ( )

IMPORT_C TInt

Capabilities

(

)

[virtual]

Reimplemented from CConverterBase::Capabilities()

Gets the converter's capabilities.

The default is to return a bitmask of all the TCapability flags.

Return Value: A bitmask of TCapability flags describing the capabilities.

ConvertAL ( const TFileName &, const TFileName &, MConverterUiObserver * )

IMPORT_C void	ConvertAL	(	const TFileName &	aSourceFile,
			const TFileName &	aTargetFile,
			MConverterUiObserver *	aObserver = NULL
		)	[virtual]

Reimplemented from CConverterBase::ConvertAL(const TFileName &,const TFileName &,MConverterUiObserver *)

Prepares for conversion in multiple steps of a file.

Clients must call this function before calling DoConvertL() one or more times to do the conversion. The function can call back the MaxSteps() function of the supplied MConverterUiObserver to tell the client the maximum number of calls to DoConvertL() that will be required.

The rest of this description describes how to implement this function.

The function should initialise the object before performing a conversion, but should not do the conversion itself. Such initialisation should include:

storing the MConverterUiObserver pointer (if supplied), so the client can later be notified of conversion progress

validating the integrity of the input data

optionally, creating the appropriate application engine, either for input or output, to enable access to the data

determining the number of steps (i.e. calls to DoConvertL()) required to perform the conversion and pass this to the client by calling MConverterUiObserver::MaxSteps()

The default implementation leaves with KErrNotSupported.

Parameters
aSourceFile	File to convert
aTargetFile	File to which to write the converted output. The file can be overwritten if it already exists.
aObserver	Observer of the conversion process

Leave Codes
KErrNotSupported	File conversion is not supported

ConvertL ( const TFileName &, const TFileName &, MConverterUiObserver * )

IMPORT_C void	ConvertL	(	const TFileName &	aSourceFile,
			const TFileName &	aTargetFile,
			MConverterUiObserver *	aObserver = NULL
		)	[virtual]

Reimplemented from CConverterBase::ConvertL(const TFileName &,const TFileName &,MConverterUiObserver *)

Converts a file in a single step.

The caller can supply a MConverterUiObserver to be informed of progress in the conversion.

The default implementation calls ConvertAL() to prepare the object to perform the conversion, and then calls DoConvertL() in a loop until conversion is complete.

Parameters
aSourceFile	File to convert
aTargetFile	File to which to write the converted output
aObserver	Optional observer of the conversion process

Leave Codes
KErrNotSupported	File conversion is not supported

ConvertObjectAL ( RReadStream &, RWriteStream &, MConverterUiObserver * )

IMPORT_C void	ConvertObjectAL	(	RReadStream &	aReadStream,
			RWriteStream &	aWriteStream,
			MConverterUiObserver *	aObserver = NULL
		)	[virtual]

Reimplemented from CConverterBase::ConvertObjectAL(RReadStream &,RWriteStream &,MConverterUiObserver *)

Prepares for conversion in multiple steps of a stream object.

For a description of how to implement this function, see ConvertAL().

Parameters
aReadStream	Stream from which to read the data to convert
aWriteStream	Stream to which to write the converted data
aObserver	Optional observer of the conversion process

Leave Codes
KErrNotSupported	Stream object conversion is not supported

ConvertObjectL ( RReadStream &, RWriteStream &, MConverterUiObserver * )

IMPORT_C void	ConvertObjectL	(	RReadStream &	aReadStream,
			RWriteStream &	aWriteStream,
			MConverterUiObserver *	aObserver = NULL
		)	[virtual]

Reimplemented from CConverterBase::ConvertObjectL(RReadStream &,RWriteStream &,MConverterUiObserver *)

Converts a stream object in a single step.

The caller can supply a MConverterUiObserver to be informed of progress in the conversion.

The default implementation calls ConvertObjectAL() to prepare the object to perform the conversion, and then calls DoConvertL() in a loop until conversion is complete.

Parameters
aReadStream	Stream from which to read the data to convert
aWriteStream	Stream to which to write the converted data
aObserver	Optional observer of the conversion process

CreateConverterL ( TUid )

(

TUid

aImplUid

[static]

DoConvertL ( )

IMPORT_C TBool

DoConvertL

(

)

[virtual]

Reimplemented from CConverterBase::DoConvertL()

Performs a step in converting the data.

The function advances a step in converting the data each time that it is called. When conversion is complete, the function returns EFalse.

Return Value: EFalse if conversion is complete, else ETrue

EmbeddedObjectL ( TDataType & )

IMPORT_C CConverterBase *

EmbeddedObjectL

(

TDataType &

aType

)

[virtual]

Reimplemented from CConverterBase::EmbeddedObjectL(TDataType &)

Gets a converter for an embedded object of the specified type.

The default is to return NULL.

Parameters
aType	Type of the embedded object

Return Value: Converter for the embedded object

ExtendedInterfaceL ( TUid, CBase *& )

IMPORT_C void	ExtendedInterfaceL	(	TUid	aInterfaceUid,
			CBase *&	aInterface
		)	[virtual]

Reimplemented from CConverterBase::ExtendedInterfaceL(TUid,CBase *&)

Allows licensees to extend the Converter Architecture API.

If overridden by the converter, it allows third party code to request the extended interface object by UID. If not overridden, the default implementation does nothing.

Parameters
aInterfaceUid	A UID that identifies the required extended interface object.
aInterface	On return, an object that extends the Converter Architecture interface, or NULL, if the UID specified is not recognised.

GetEmbeddedFileName ( TFileName & )

IMPORT_C TBool

GetEmbeddedFileName

(

TFileName &

aFileName

)

[virtual]

Reimplemented from CConverterBase::GetEmbeddedFileName(TFileName &)

Gets a filename embedded in the object.

Parameters
aFileName	The file name found

Return Value: True if a filename was found, false otherwise
