Filter Method

virtualboolFilter(const 
 Serializable* object) = 0 
 

Description

The Filter method takes a single Serializable object as a parameter. This method must be implemented in the child class to do the filtering. Once an instance class/method is extended from the SearchFilter base it can be passed into the DataSource::SearchByFilter procedure. During the search process all candidate Serializable objects are evaluated using the extended class. A resultant candidate list of objects is created based on the return value of the Filter() method.
