Inside Macintosh: OpenDoc Class Reference /

Part 1 - Classes and Methods / ODSemanticInterface

CallObjectAccessor

The CallObjectAccessor method resolves the object specifier into a target and returns a reference to an OpenDoc token identifying that target.

void CallObjectAccessor (in ODPart thePart,
                         in ODDescType desiredClass, 
                         in ODOSLToken container,
                         in ODDescType containerClass, 
                         in ODDescType form, 
                         in ODDesc selectionData, 
                         in ODOSLToken value);

thePart

A reference to the part associated with this semantic interface object.

desiredClass

The class of the desired Apple event objects.

container

A reference to an OpenDoc token identifying the container for the desired objects.

containerClass

The class of the container for the desired Apple event objects.

form

The key form specified by the object specifier record for the object or objects to be located.

selectionData

A reference to a descriptor object with the key data specified by the object specifier record for the object or objects to be located.

value

A reference to an OpenDoc token to be filled in by the object accessor being called.

DISCUSSION

OpenDoc calls this method in response to a call to the name resolver's Resolve method. Your override of this method should be able to resolve any of the object types supported by your part.

Use the desiredClass and containerClass parameters to identify the appropriate handler.

If your part cannot resolve an object specifier, but one of your embedded parts may be able to, your override of this method can set the value parameter to be equivalent to the swap token obtained from the name resolver's CreateSwapToken method. This is important for parts that support embedding, since your part's semantic interface must allow embedded parts to resolve objects that they know about.

EXCEPTIONS

The Apple Event Manager may throw an exception if this method is unable to resolve the specified object.

This method may throw platform-specific exceptions.
