It can search for just the first or last node satisfying the criteria or for all such nodes. The actions return paths to each node found. Note that by default nodekits do not search their children when a search action is applied. The man page for SoBaseKit discusses the methods SoBaseKit::isSearchingChildren() and SoBaseKit::setSearchingChildren(), which allow you to query and control this behavior. METHODS SoSearchAction() Constructor. void setNode(SoNode *n) SoNode * getNode() const Sets/returns the node to search for. void setType(SoType t, SbBool derivedIsOk = TRUE) SoType getType(SbBool &derivedIsOk) const Sets/returns the node type to search for. If derivedIsOk is TRUE, a node that is of a type that is derived from t will pass this search criterion. void setName(const SbName &n) const SbName & getName() const Sets/returns the name of the node to search for. void setFind(int what) int getFind() Sets/returns what to look for; what is a bitmask of LookFor enum values. Default is no flags at all. Note that setting a node, type, and/or name to search for activates the relevant flag, so you may never need to call this method directly. void setInterest(Interest interest) Interest getInterest() const Sets/returns which paths to return. Default is FIRST. void setSearchingAll(SbBool flag) SbBool isSearchingAll() const Sets/returns whether searching uses regular traversal or whether it traverses every single node. For example, if this flag is FALSE, an SoSwitch node will traverse only the child or children it would normally traverse for an action. If the flag is TRUE, the switch would always traverse all of its children. The default is FALSE. SoPath * getPath() const Returns resulting path, or NULL if no path was found. This should be used if the interest is FIRST or LAST. SoPathList & getPaths() Returns resulting path list. This should be used if the interest is ALL. void reset() Resets options back to default values; clears list of returned paths. This can be used to apply the action again with a different set of search criteria. SEE ALSO SoPath, SoBaseKit
