IDLffShape::Cleanup

IDLffShape::Cleanup

Syntax | Arguments | Keywords | Version History

The IDLffShape::Cleanup procedure method performs all cleanup on a Shapefile object. If the Shapefile being accessed by the object is open and the file has been modified, the new information is written to the file if one of the following conditions is met:

The file was opened with write permissions using the UPDATE keyword to the IDLffShape::Open method

It is a newly created file that has not been written previously.

Note

Cleanup methods are special lifecycle methods, and as such cannot be called outside the context of object creation and destruction. This means that in most cases, you cannot call the Cleanup method directly. There is one exception to this rule: If you write your own subclass of this class, you can call the Cleanup method from within the Init or Cleanup method of the subclass.
