IDLitTool::Init

IDLitTool::Init

Syntax | Return Value | Arguments | Keywords | Version History

The IDLitTool::Init function method initializes the IDLitTool object, and should be called by the Init method of a subclass.

Note

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

Syntax

Obj = OBJ_NEW('IDLitTool'[, PROPERTY=value])

Result = Obj->[IDLitTool::]Init([PROPERTY=value]) (Only in a subclass' Init method.)

Return Value

When this method is called indirectly, as part of the call to the OBJ_NEW function, the return value is an object reference to the newly-created object.

When called directly within a subclass Init method, the return value is 1 if initialization was successful, or zero otherwise.

Arguments

None

Keywords

Any property listed under IDLitTool Properties that contains the word "Yes" in the "Init" column of the properties table can be initialized during object creation using this method. To initialize the value of a property, specify the property name as a keyword set equal to the appropriate property value.
