InitFocusModule

Inside Macintosh: OpenDoc Class Reference /: Part 1 - Classes and Methods / ODFocusModule

InitFocusModule
The InitFocusModule method initializes this focus module object.
void InitFocusModule (in ODSession session);
session
A reference to the current session object.

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

OVERRIDING
If you subclass ODFocusModule, you should not override this method.
