Part 1 - Classes and Methods / ODFocusModule


CommitRelinquishFocus

The CommitRelinquishFocus method should signal to the part that owns the specified exclusive focus that it is about to lose ownership of it.

void CommitRelinquishFocus (in ODTypeToken focus, 
                            in ODFrame requestingFrame);
focus
A tokenized string representing the focus type to be relinquished, expressed as a 32-bit value.
requestingFrame
A reference to a frame that requested the focus.
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.

OpenDoc calls this method, which in turns calls the CommitRelinquishFocus method of the part that owns the focus.

OVERRIDING
If you subclass ODFocusModule, you must override this method. Your override method must not call its inherited method; that is, your override method must implement this method's functionality completely.
