CreateElement()

virtual IAdaptable* berry::IElementFactory::CreateElement ( const SmartPointer< IMemento > &  memento )

pure virtual

Re-creates and returns an object from the state captured within the given memento.

If the result is not null, it should be persistable; that is,

result.getAdapter(org.eclipse.ui.IPersistableElement.class)

should not return null. The caller takes ownership of the result and must delete it when it is not needed any more.

Parameters

memento

a memento containing the state for the object

Returns

an object, or nullptr if the element could not be created
