Tokenize

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

Tokenize
The Tokenize method converts the specified type string to a token.
ODTypeToken Tokenize (in ODType type);
type
A type string to be converted.
return value
A tokenized string representing the token corresponding to the specified type, expressed as a 32-bit value.

DISCUSSION
If the specified type string has already been converted to a token (by a previous call to the Tokenize method), this method returns the corresponding token from the type/token table. Otherwise, it converts the type to a token and adds a new entry to the type/token table.
Only tokens with entries in the type/token table can be converted back to type strings (by the GetType method).

EXCEPTIONS

kODErrOutOfMemory
There is not enough memory to generate a token.
