Documents: 2 Document Control Data Fields

Up: GEOS SDK TechDocs | Up | Down | Prev: 1 Document Control Overview | Next: 3 Basic DC Messages

This section describes the attributes of the two document control classes, GenDocumentControlClass and GenDocumentGroupClass , as well as of the GenDocumentClass . Note that GenDocument objects are created at run-time, and their attributes are initialized by the creating GenDocumentGroup object. However, their attributes can be changed with the appropriate messages.

Many of the messages to the GenDocumentControl have corresponding messages to the GenDocumentGroup. For example, to find out the GenDocumentControl's attributes, one can either send a MSG_GEN_DOCUMENT_CONTROL_GET_ATTRS to the GenDocumentControl or send a MSG_GEN_DOCUMENT_GROUP_GET_UI_ATTRS to the GenDocumentGroup. In either case, the message will return the same result. It is sometimes more convenient to send a message to the GenDocumentGroup object; for example, a document object can do this with @call @genParent::<message> .
