IsEqualTo

Inside Macintosh: OpenDoc Class Reference /: Part 1 - Classes and Methods / ODObject

IsEqualTo
The IsEqualTo method returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the specified object is equal to this object.
ODBoolean IsEqualTo (in ODObject object);
object
A reference to an object to compare to this object.
return value
kODTrue if the objects are the same, otherwise kODFalse.

DISCUSSION
You should call this method whenever you need to compare objects for equality. You should never use the equal or not equal operators (for example, the C++ == and != operators) to compare references of two objects.
