)
pure virtual
enumerate the files in \a resource_group that match \a file_pattern and

append thier names to out_vec

virtual void CEGUI::ResourceProvider::loadRawDataContainer ( const String filename,
RawDataContainer output,
const String resourceGroup 
)
pure virtual

Load XML data using InputSource objects.

Parameters
filenameString containing a filename of the resource to be loaded.
outputReference to a InputSourceContainer object to load the data into.
Load raw binary data.
Parameters
filenameString containing a filename of the resource to be loaded.
outputReference to a RawDataContainer object to load the data into.
resourceGroupOptional String that may be used by implementations to identify the group from which the resource should be loaded.

Implemented in CEGUI::DefaultResourceProvider, CEGUI::MinizipResourceProvider, CEGUI::IrrlichtResourceProvider, and CEGUI::OgreResourceProvider.

void CEGUI::ResourceProvider::setDefaultResourceGroup ( const String resourceGroup)
inline

Set the default resource group identifier.

Parameters
resourceGroupString object containing the default resource group identifier to be used.
Returns
Nothing.
virtual void CEGUI::ResourceProvider::unloadRawDataContainer ( RawDataContainer )
inlinevirtual

Unload raw binary data. This gives the resource provider a change to unload the data in its own way before the data container object is destroyed. If it does nothing, then the object will release its memory.

Parameters
dataReference to a RawDataContainer object that is about to be destroyed.

Reimplemented in CEGUI::DefaultResourceProvider, CEGUI::IrrlichtResourceProvider, and CEGUI::OgreResourceProvider.
