| SoDB Methods |
The SoDB type exposes the following members.
Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
  | AddConverter | Registers a field conversion engine that can be used to convert from one type of field to another. |
| AddPlugin | Loads a plugin library. |
| AddPluginsDirectory | Adds a directory to search for libraries defining new Open Inventor plugins. |
| CloseRegistryKey | This closes the key opened by openRegistryKey. |
| CreateGlobalField | The database maintains a namespace for global fields, making sure that there is at most one instance of a global field with any given name in the database. |
| Equals | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetConverter | Returns the field conversion engine registered for the two given field types. |
| GetDelaySensorTimeout | Returns the current delay queue timeout value. |
| GetGlobalField | Returns the global field with the given name, or NULL if there is none. |
| GetHashCode |
Overrides GetHashCode().
(Inherited from SoNetBase.) |
| GetHeaderString | Returns the i'th header. |
| GetIvTuneAllowed | Returns true if IvTune can be launched interactively using the keyboard shortcut. |
| GetNumHeaders | Returns the number of valid headers, including standard Open Inventor headers, and user-registered headers. |
| GetNumRenderCaches | Obsolete. |
| GetRealTimeInterval | Returns how often the database is updating the realTime global field. |
| GetRenderCacheMode | Obsolete. |
| GetTickCount | |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| IsMultiThread | Obsolete. Returns whether multi-thread support is enabled in Open Inventor. |
| IsValidHeader | This returns true if the given character string is one of the valid Open Inventor file headers, (e.g., "#Inventor V2.0 binary"), or if the string has been registered as a valid header through the () method. |
| OpenRegistryKey | Calls OpenRegistryKey(false). |
| OpenRegistryKey(Boolean) | Registry Utility Function You must have Administrator privileges to use these functions All methods work off of the key \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\VSG If the key does not exist it is created. |
| ProcessEvents | Process Open Inventor sensor queues (TimerQueue and DelayQueue). |
| Read(SoInput, SoNode) | Reads a graph from the file specified by the given OIV.Inventor.SoInput, returning the resulting root node in rootNode. |
| Read(SoInput, SoPath) | Reads a graph from the file specified by the given OIV.Inventor.SoInput, returning the resulting path in path. |
| ReadAll(String) |
Read all graphs from the file specified by the file name. See #ReadAll(SoInput) for more details.
|
| ReadAll(SoInput) | Reads all graphs and paths from the file specified by the given OIV.Inventor.SoInput. |
| Readlock | Acquire a non-exclusive global scene graph read-lock. |
| Readunlock | Release a non-exclusive global scene graph read-lock. |
| RemoveConverter | Remove a previously added converter. |
| RemovePlugin | Unloads the specified plugin library. |
| RemovePluginsDirectory | Remove directory from the list of search directories for plugin loading. |
| RenameGlobalField | Renames the global field named oldName. |
| SetDelaySensorTimeout | This sets the timeout value for sensors that are delay queue sensors (one-shot sensors, data sensors). |
| SetIvTuneAllowed | Specifies if launching IvTune interactively using the keyboard shortcut is allowed. |
| SetNumRenderCaches | Obsolete. Since Open Inventor 10.3, this method has no effect because render caches are automatically managed. |
| SetRealTimeInterval | The database automatically creates one global field when () is called. |
| SetRenderCacheMode | Obsolete. |
| SetSystemTimer | |
| ThreadInit | Obsolete.
Initializes the database with support for multi thread programs.
|
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Writelock | |
| Writeunlock | Release the global scene graph write-lock. |
