InitDispatchModule

The InitDispatchModule method initializes this dispatch module object.

void InitDispatchModule (in ODSession session);

session

A reference to the current session object.

DISCUSSION

This method is not called directly to initialize this dispatch module object, but is called by a subclass-specific initialization method. By convention, every subclass of ODDispatchModule should have a separate initialization method (for example, the InitMyDispatchModule method) that is called when an instance of that subclass is created. The override method may have additional parameters beyond those of the InitDispatchModule method. The InitMyDispatchModule method should call the inherited InitDispatchModule method at the beginning of its implementation.

If you subclass ODDispatchModule, your subclass-specific initialization method, rather than its somInit method, should handle any initialization code that can potentially fail. For example, your initialization method may attempt to allocate memory for your dispatch module.

OVERRIDING

If you subclass ODDispatchModule, you should not override this method.
