Part 1 - Classes and Methods / ODFrame

ChangeViewType

The ChangeViewType method changes the specified view type of this frame.

void ChangeViewType (in ODTypeToken viewType);

viewType

A tokenized string representing the view type to assign to this frame.

DISCUSSION

The viewType parameter must be the tokenized form of one of the view-type constants (kODViewAsFrame, kODViewAsSmallIcon, kODViewAsLargeIcon, or kODViewAsThumbnail). You can call the session object's Tokenize method to obtain a token corresponding to one of these constants.

Your part calls its embedded frame's ChangeViewType method to request that it use a new view type. This method in turn calls the ViewTypeChanged method of this frame's part to notify the part that its view type has changed. If the embedded part does not support the requested view type, it can pick a view type that it can support and then call its frame's SetViewType method to update the view type in the frame.

EXCEPTIONS

kODErrIllegalNullTokenInput

The viewType parameter is null.
