26// //
27// MFilter //
28// //
29// This is a base class which defines an interface to create your own //
30// filters. To do it derive a class from MFilter. //
31// //
32// You can create two types of Filters: //
33// - static Filters and //
34// - dynamic Filters //
35// //
36// Static Filters: //
37// A static filter is a filter which value doesn't change dynamically, //
38// which mean only once while running through your tasklist. To create //
39// a static filter override the Process-function of MFilter (this is //
40// the function in which the filer-value should be updated). If //
41// necessary you can also overwrite Pre-/PostProcess. The process //
42// function should calculate the return value of IsExpressionTrue. //
43// IsExpressionTrue should simply return this value. This kind of //
44// filter must be added to the tasklist at a point which is forseen to //
45// update the value of the filter (eg. after the reading task). //
46// //
47// Dynamic Filters: //
48// A dynamic filter is a filter which returns a value which must be //
49// calculated at the time the filter is called. To create such a //
50// filter you have to overwrite IsExpressionTrue only. If there is //
51// no need for a 'one-point' update this filter must not be added to //
52// the tasklist. //
53// //
54// Usage: //
55// A Filter is connected to a task by calling MTask::SetFilter. The //
56// task is now executed when IsExpressionTrue returns a value //
57// (different from kFALSE) only. //
58// //
59// Remarks: //
60// - Make sure, that all tasks which depends on this filter are either //
61// collected in a MTaskList-object or are conected to the same //
62// filter. //
63// - If you want to use different filters (combined logically) for one //
64// task please look for the MFilterList class. //
65// - Be careful, the return value of IsExpressionTrue is NOT a real //
66// boolean. You can return other values, too. //
