class CFObject
class, CoreFoundation Di, 6. Aug 2002
Mac OS Classic: Does nothing. Mac OS Carbon: Works. Windows: Does nothing.
Function: A class for a core foundation object.
Example:
// is object is a cfstring, return it a Realbasic string.
Function st(o as cfobject) As string
dim s as cfstring
if o<>Nil then
s=o.cfstring
if s<>Nil then
return s.str
end if
end if
End Function
Notes: If the release property is true, the destructor of this class will release the object reference.

CFArray as CFArray
method, CoreFoundation So, 21. Jul 2002
Mac OS Classic: Does nothing. Mac OS Carbon: Works. Windows: Does nothing.
Function: If this CFObject contains a reference to a CFArray, you can get a Realbasic CFArray object for it using this function.
Notes:
You could translate this like this:
dim o as cfobject
...
if o.type=kCFArrayTypeID then
return CFArray(o)
end if
But this cast will fail if this object is not a CFArray object in Realbasic.
