An object of the ODNameResolver class provides for resolution of object specifiers in semantic events. The ODNameResolver class works with the ODSemanticInterface class to resolve Apple event object specifiers sent between parts.

Description
When a document is opened, the session object creates a single name-resolver object. All parts of that document share the name resolver; you can obtain a reference to it by calling the session object's GetNameResolver method (page 609). Your part's semantic interface can use the name resolver to initiate the resolution of an object specifier and to call your part's object accessors. Your part can also use the name resolver to create a swap token, which allows your part to pass the resolution of an object specifier to another part.
For more information related to object accessors, see the ODSemanticInterface class description (page 579). For more information related to object specifiers and the Apple event object model, see the "Resolving and Creating Object Specifier Records" chapter of Inside Macintosh: Interapplication Communication and the chapter on scripting in the OpenDoc Programmer's Guide for the MacOS.

Methods
This section presents summary descriptions of the ODNameResolver methods grouped according to purpose, followed by detailed descriptions in alphabetical order.
Object Resolution

CallObjectAccessor
Calls the object accessor of the calling part's semantic interface.
Resolve
Resolves an object specifier into a token that identifies the target object.
Token Manipulation

CreateSwapToken
Creates a token that passes resolution of an object specifier to another part.
DisposeToken
Deallocates the internal structures of the specified token.
GetContextFromToken
Gets references to the part and the frame in whose context the specified token was created.
IsODToken
Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the specified token object has been initialized to the proper format for an OpenDoc token.
GetUserToken
Returns a reference to the descriptor object contained in the specified OpenDoc token.
