//
//   MFilter
//
//   This is a base class which defines an interface to create your own
//   filters. To do it derive a class from MFilter.
//
//   You can invert the meaning of a filter (logical NOT '!') by calling
//   SetInverted().
//
//   You can create two types of Filters:
//    - static Filters and
//    - dynamic Filters
//
//   Static Filters:
//    A static filter is a filter which value doesn't change dynamically,
//    which mean only once while running through your tasklist. To create
//    a static filter override the Process-function of MFilter (this is
//    the function in which the filer-value should be updated). If
//    necessary you can also overwrite Pre-/PostProcess. The process
//    function should calculate the return value of IsExpressionTrue.
//    IsExpressionTrue should simply return this value. This kind of
//    filter must be added to the tasklist at a point which is forseen to
//    update the value of the filter (eg. after the reading task).
//
//   Dynamic Filters:
//    A dynamic filter is a filter which returns a value which must be
//    calculated at the time the filter is called. To create such a
//    filter you have to overwrite IsExpressionTrue only. If there is
//    no need for a 'one-point' update this filter must not be added to
//    the tasklist.
//
//   Usage:
//    A Filter is connected to a task by calling MTask::SetFilter. The
//    task is now executed when IsExpressionTrue returns a value
//    (different from kFALSE) only.
//
//   Remarks:
//    - Make sure, that all tasks which depends on this filter are either
//      collected in a MTaskList-object or are conected to the same
//      filter.
//    - If you want to use different filters (combined logically) for one
//      task please look for the MFilterList class.
//    - Be careful, the return value of IsExpressionTrue is NOT a real
//      boolean. You can return other values, too.
