An object of the ODBinding class represents the OpenDoc binding object that performs the runtime binding of part editors to the parts in a document.

Description
When a document is opened, the session object creates a single binding object. All parts of that document share the binding object; the document shell or a container application can obtain a reference to it by calling the session object's GetBinding method (page 606).
OpenDoc binds part editors to part data when a part is read in or when its part editor is changed. The binding object gathers information provided by the installed part editors, preferences specified by the user, and part-kind information stored with parts. It uses that information to choose an editor for each part in the document. For more information about binding, see the chapter on OpenDoc runtime features in the OpenDoc Programmer's Guide for the MacOS.
