How to use XML with existing CLASS object from SugoiEngine?

All object that should read/write itself from/to a XML tag must herit from the class

• CL_XML_OBJ if you do not plan to use it into a manager.
• CL_XML_BASE_OBJ for a CL_XML_MNGR.
• CL_XML_BASE_OBJ_FILE for CL_FILE_MNGR(wich support XML by default).

Creating a CL_XML_OBJ:

                    CL_XML_OBJ * XMLTest = new CL_XML_OBJ("tagTest");

Loading a CL_XML_OBJ:

                    //XML tree
                    //<tagRoot>
                    //        <tagTest/>
                    //<tagRoot/>
                    //XMLRoot is a TiXmlElement   * from the library TinyXML and point to the tag <tagRoot> 
                    
                    TiXmlElement        *XML_Test_Tag = XMLTest->XMLLoad(XMLRoot);//return to the XML element of the object tag, so we can used it to read/write data

Saving a CL_XML_OBJ:

                    //XML tree before
                    //<tagRoot/>
                    //XMLRoot is a TiXmlElement   * from the library TinyXML and point to the tag <tagRoot> 
                    
                    TiXmlElement        *XML_Test_Tag = XMLTest->XMLSave(XMLRoot);//return to the XML element of the object tag, so we can used it to read/write data
                    
                    //XML tree after saving
                    //<tagRoot>
                    //        <tagTest/>
                    //<tagRoot/>

The class CL_XML_OBJ has four important definitions???
