RelinquishFocus

The RelinquishFocus method is called by the current owner of the specified focus to relinquish ownership of it.

void RelinquishFocus (in ODTypeToken focus, 
                      in ODFrame relinquishingFrame);

focus

A tokenized string representing the focus type to be relinquished, expressed as a 32-bit value.

relinquishingFrame

A reference to a frame relinquishing ownership of the focus.

DISCUSSION

The focus parameter must be the tokenized form of one of the focus constants (kODClipboardFocus, kODKeyFocus, kODMenuFocus, kODModalFocus, kODMouseFocus, kODScrollingFocus, or kODSelectionFocus) or the tokenized form of a part-specific focus type. You can call the session object's Tokenize method to obtain a token corresponding to one of these constants.

If the focus is exclusive, it has no owner after this method executes successfully.

EXCEPTIONS

kODErrFocusNotRegistered

The specified focus is not registered.
