IPluginFactory

Class factory that any Plug-in defines for creating class instances. \ingroup pluginBase - [plug imp]

From the host's point of view a Plug-in module is a factory which can create a certain kind of object(s). The interface IPluginFactory provides methods to get information about the classes exported by the Plug-in and a mechanism to create instances of these classes (that usually define the IPluginBase interface).

<b> An implementation is provided in public.sdk/source/common/pluginfactory.cpp </b> \see GetPluginFactory

getClassInfo tresult getClassInfo(int32 index, PClassInfo* info): Fill a PClassInfo structure with information about the class at the specified index.
getFactoryInfo tresult getFactoryInfo(PFactoryInfo* info): Fill a PFactoryInfo structure with information about the Plug-in vendor.
