C++ Information
From SysUtils.hpp
bool __fastcall Supports(System::DelphiInterface<System::IInterface> Instance, const _GUID & IID, void * Intf);
Unit: SysUtils
Type: function
Description
Indicates whether a given object or interface supports a specified interface.
Call Supports to determine whether the object or interface specified by Instance, or the class specified by AClass, supports the interface identified by the IID parameter. If Instance supports the interface, Supports returns the interface as the Intf parameter and returns True. If AClass supports the interface, Supports does not return an interface, but still returns True. If the interface specified by IID is not supported, Supports returns False.
On the Win32 platform, to determine whether the interface specified by IID is supported, Supports calls the QueryInterface method of the supplied interface (or the interface of the supplied object). However, unlike calling QueryInterface directly, Supports lets you pass a nil (Delphi) or NULL (C++) value as the instance.
On the .NET platform, Supports uses the typecasting facilities of the .NET framework.
