WPFileSystem *somSelf; /* Pointer to the object on which the method is being invoked. */
PSZ pszTypes; /* Pointer to buffer containing type to set. */
PFEA2LIST *pfeal; /* Reserved - must be set to 0. */
BOOL rc; /* Success indicator. */

Example Code

This example initializes the type of the instance of the Browse_O_Matic object to DLL.

SOM_Scope BOOL SOMLINK Browse_O_Maticwps_wpSetup(Browse_O_Matic *somSelf,
                PSZ pszSetupString)
{
  /* Browse_O_MaticData *somThis = Browse_O_MaticGetData(somSelf); */
  Browse_O_MaticMethodDebug("Browse_O_Matic","Browse_O_Maticwps_wpSetup");

  _wpSetType( somSelf, DRT_DLL, NULL);

  /************************************************/
  /* Allow mulitple secondary views of the object */
  /************************************************/

  _wpSetConcurrentView( somSelf, CCVIEW_ON);

  return (parent_wpSetup(somSelf,pszSetupString));
