somGetMethodData

This method returns method information for a specified method, which must have been introduced by the receiver class or an ancestor of that class. Not generally overridden.

Original Class

SOMClass

Syntax

boolean somGetMethodData (SOMClass receiver, somId methodId, somMethodData md)

Parameters

receiver (SOMClass)

A pointer to the class that produced the index value.

methodId (somId)

A somId for the method's name.

md (somMethodData)

A pointer to a somMethodData structure.

Return Code

rc (boolean)

• true - Returns boolean true if successful.
• false - Returns false if not successful.

Remarks

This method loads a somMethodData structure with data describing the method identified by the passed methodId. If methodId does not identify a method known to the receiver, then false is returned; otherwise, true is returned after loading the somMethodData structure with data corresponding to the indicated method.

Example Code

#include <somcls.xh>

main
{
   somEnvironmentNew();
   somId gmiId = somIdFromString("somGetMethodIndex");
   somMethodData md;
   boolean rc = _SOMClass->somGetMethodData(gmiId, &md);
   SOM_Test(rc && somCompareIds(gmiId, md.id);
}
