3// MTask //
4// //
5// Base class for all tasks which can perfomed in a tasklist //
6// For each event processed in the eventloop all the different //
7// tasks in the tasklist will be processed. //
8// //
9// So all tasks must inherit from this baseclass. //
10// //
11// The inheritance from MInputStreamID is used to indicate the //
12// type of event that this task is for. If it is "All" it is executed //
13// independantly of the actual ID of the task list. //
14// //
15// Inside this abstract class, there are three fundamental function: //
16// //
17// - PreProcess(): executed before the eventloop starts. Here you //
18// can initiate different things, open files, etc. //
19// As an argument this function gets a pointer to the //
20// parameter list. You can stop the execution by //
21// kFALSE instread of kTRUE. //
22// //
23// - Process(): executed for each event in the eventloop. Do in //
24// one task after the other (as the occur in the //
25// tasklist) the action of one task. Only the tasks //
26// with a Stream ID which matches the actual ID of the //
27// task list are executed. A task can return kFALSE //
28// to stop the execuition of the pending taks in a //
29// list or kCONTINUE to skip the pending tasks. //
30// //
31// - PostProcess(): executed after the eventloop. Here you can close //
32// output files, start display of the run parameter, //
33// etc. //
