An object of the ODObjectIterator class provides access to the entries of an object name space.

Description
You use an object iterator to apply an operation to all entries of an object name space. For example, you might use an object iterator to compile a complete list of all the part editors that support certain part types.
Your part creates an object iterator object by calling the object name space's CreateIterator method (page 451), which returns a reference to an object iterator object. The iterator performs an unordered traversal of the name space.
While you are using an object iterator, you should not modify or delete the name space. You must postpone adding entries to or removing entries from the name space until after you have deleted the iterator.
For information related to object name spaces, see the ODObjectNameSpace class description (page 450). For more information on accessing objects through iterators, see "Accessing Objects Through Iterators" on page 473 in OpenDoc Programmer's Guide.
