DISCUSSION

Before calling this method, you must focus the storage unit to the property that contains the shape data.

If the focused property contains a value of type kODPolygon, this method reads the shape data from that value. Otherwise, if the focused property contains a value of a platform-specific shape value type, this method reads the shape data from that value.

EXCEPTIONS
