wpQueryCoreRecord

This method is specific to version 3, or higher, of the OS/2 operating system.

This instance method returns a pointer to a MINIRECORDCORE structure associated with a given object.

Syntax

_wpQueryCoreRecord(somSelf)

Parameters

somSelf (WPObject *) - input

Pointer to the object on which the method is being invoked.

Points to an object of class WPObject.

Returns

pMiniRecord (PMINIRECORDCORE) - returns

Pointer to an object's container control record.

How to Override

This method is generally not overridden.

Remarks

When an object is created, the Workplace Shell automatically allocates memory for a MINIRECORDCORE structure and stores a pointer to it in the object's instance data. Every object has an associated MINIRECORDCORE structure so it can be placed into the container. This method is used to obtain a pointer to the MINIRECORDCORE structure when the pointer to the object is known.

Example Code

#define INCL_WINWORKPLACE
#include <os2.h>

WPObject *somSelf; /* Pointer to the object on which the method is being invoked. */
PMINIRECORDCORE pMiniRecord; /* Pointer to an object's container control record. */

pMiniRecord = _wpQueryCoreRecord(somSelf);
