CreateOwnerIterator

The CreateOwnerIterator method creates a focus-owner iterator to give callers access to the frames that own a nonexclusive focus.

ODFocusOwnerIterator CreateOwnerIterator (
                                    in ODTypeToken focus);
focus
A tokenized string representing the focus type whose owners you want to access, expressed as a 32-bit value.
return value
A reference to a new focus-owner iterator object, or kODNULL if the specified focus is exclusive.
DISCUSSION
The focus parameter must be the tokenized form of one of the focus constants (kODClipboardFocus, kODKeyFocus, kODMenuFocus, kODModalFocus, kODMouseFocus, kODScrollingFocus, or kODSelectionFocus) or the tokenized form of a part-specific focus type. You can call the session object's Tokenize method to obtain a token corresponding to one of these constants.

To get access to the owner of an exclusive focus, use the arbitrator's AcquireFocusOwner method.

While you are using a focus-owner iterator, you should not modify the list of focus owners. You must postpone adding items to or removing items from the list of focus owners until after you have deleted the iterator.

EXCEPTIONS
kODErrFocusNotRegistered
The specified focus is not registered.
kODErrOutOfMemory
There is not enough memory to allocate the focus-owner iterator object.
