IDLitDataOperation::Init

Syntax | Return Value | Arguments | Keywords | Version History

The IDLitDataOperation::Init function method initializes the IDLitDataOperation object and sets properties that define the behavior the operation provides.

Note
An operation based on the IDLitDataOperation class must implement this method. See Creating an Operation (iTool Developer's Guide) for details.

Note
Init methods are special life cycle 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('IDLitDataOperation' [, PROPERTY=variable] )

or

Result = Obj->[IDLitDataOperation::]Init([, PROPERTY=variable])     (In a lifecycle method only.)

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 IDLitDataOperation 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 the appropriate property value.
