GetPlatformTypeFromISOType
The GetPlatformTypeFromISOType method returns the platform-specific type corresponding to the specified ISO type.
ODPlatformType GetPlatformTypeFromISOType (
in ODValueType type);
type
- The ISO type.
- return value
- A 32-bit wrapper for the corresponding platform-specific type. On the Mac OS platform, this type is identical to the
ScrapType or OSType types (a four-character code).
DISCUSSION
Your part calls this method. OpenDoc does not use platform types (for example, OSType on the Mac OS). Therefore, to interoperate between OpenDoc and non-OpenDoc systems, platform types and ISO types need to be translated from one kind to the other.
