ASSERT_KINDOF

  • Article

This macro asserts that the object pointed to is an object of the specified class, or is an object of a class derived from the specified class.

ASSERT_KINDOF(classname, pobject )

Parameters

  • classname
    The name of a CObject-derived class.

  • pobject
    A pointer to a class object.

Remarks

The pobject parameter should be a pointer to an object and can be const. The object pointed to and the class must support CObject run-time class information. As an example, to ensure that pDocument is a pointer to an object of the CMyDoc class, or any of its derivatives, you could code:

ASSERT_KINDOF(CMyDoc, pDocument);

Using the ASSERT_KINDOF macro is exactly the same as coding:

ASSERT(pDocument->IsKindOf(RUNTIME_CLASS(CMyDoc)));

This function works only for classes declared with the DECLARE_DYNAMIC or DECLARE_SERIAL macro.

Note

This function is available only in the Debug version of MFC.
