  10. >> The content of a part I'm trying to build is basically
  11. text that the user edits in a FW_CEditText view. I keep an FW_CString in my
  12. Content class, but it needs to be updated before externalizing. So I would
  13. guess I should overide FW_CPart::ExternalizeContent() to do the
  14. synchronization, then call inherited::ExternalizeContent(), right?
  15.  
  16. Close; you should override FW_CContent::Externalize, not ExternalizeContent:
  17.  
  18. void CMyContent::Externalize(    Environment* ev,
  19.                                     ODStorageUnit* storageUnit,
  20.                                     FW_EStorageKinds storageKind,
  21.                                     FW_CCloneInfo* cloneInfo)
  22. {
  23.     UpdateContentString(ev);
  24.  
  25.     // Externalize in order of fidelity
  26.     ExternalizePartKind(ev, storageUnit);
  27.     ExternalizeText(ev, storageUnit);
  28. }
  29.  
  30. >> could a general UpdateContent() method be put in the FW_CPart class
  31. to handle things like content updating before externalization, apple event
  32. processing, linking, etc.?
  33. I'll investigate this. Thanks for the suggestion.
