kBox Class Reference

Description

Represents an instance of a value type as an object.

kBox provides a simple way to represent a single value (e.g. k32s) using a kObject-derived class instance. This approach can sometimes be used to reduce duplicated effort when both reference types and value types must be supported.

kBox supports the kObject_Clone and kObject_Size methods.

kBox supports the kdat5 and kdat6 serialization protocols.
