RWTPMap<K,T,C> map;
RWTPMapIterator<K,T,C> itr(map);

RWTPrtMapIterator is supplied with Tools 7 to provide an iterator interface to the new Standard Library based collections that has backward compatibility with the container iterators provided in Tools 6.

The order of iteration over an RWTPtrMap is dependent on the comparator object supplied as applied to the key values of the stored associations.

The current item referenced by this iterator is undefined after construction or after a call to reset(). The iterator becomes valid after being advanced with either a preincrement or operator().

For both operator++ and operator(), iterating past the last element will return a value equivalent to boolean false. Continued increments will return a value equivalent to false until reset() is called.

John's age is 30
Mark's age is 24
Steve's age is 17

RWTPtrMapIterator<K,T,C>(const RWTPtrMap<K,T,C>& rwm);

Creates an iterator for the map rwm. The iterator begins in an undefined state and must be advanced before the first element will be accessible

K*
operator()();

Advances self to the next element, dereferences the resulting iterator and returns its key. If the iterator has advanced past the last item in the container, the element returned will be a nil pointer equivalent to boolean false.

RWBoolean
operator++();

Advances self to the next element. If the iterator has been reset or just created self will now reference the first element. If, before iteration, self referenced the last association in the multimap, self will now point to an undefined value and a value equivalent to false will be returned. Otherwise, a value equivalent to true is returned. Note: no post-increment operator is provided.

RWTPtrMap<K,T,C>*
container() const;

Returns a pointer to the collection being iterated over.

K*
key() const;

Returns the key portion of the association currently referenced by self. Undefined if self is not referencing a value within the map.

void
reset();
void
reset(RWTPtrMap<K,T,C>& h);

Resets the iterator so that after being advanced it will reference the first element of the collection. Using reset() with no argument will reset the iterator on the current container. Supplying a RWTPtrMap to reset() will reset the iterator on that container.

T*
value();

Returns the value portion of the association pointed to by self. Undefined if self is not referencing a value within the map.
