GetObject Function

 FUNCTION GetObject(
	uType,
	cClassName
) AS Object CLIPPER

[ClipperCallingConventionAttribute(new string[] { ... })]
public static Object GetObject(
	Usual uType = default,
	Usual cClassName = default
)

Parameters

uType (Optional)

Type: Usual

cClassName (Optional)

Type: Usual
Specifies the class name of the object to retrieve. Some applications can store more than one object type in the same file, making it possible for you to use the class name to specify the object to activate. For example, if a word processing application stores its documents, macro definitions, and ToolBar objects in the same file, you can create a reference to the document file with the following command:

X#

Copy

1MDOCFILE = GetObject('C:\WRDPROC\MYDOC.DOC','WrdProc.Document')

With some server applications, each time you issue GetObject( ), an additional instance of the application is started, using additional memory. If the application is already running, you can prevent additional instances of the application from starting by omitting FileName and including ClassName, as in this example:

X#

Copy

1oleApp = GetObject(, "Excel.Application")

Return Value
