Methods' Details
getData
any
getData( [in] sequence< byte >  aProcessId );
Description
Called by a data consumer to obtain a system specific data object from the source. The data object is returned in an any. The contained type may differ on different platforms.
Parameter aProcessId
The argument aProcessId is a process identifier of the caller's process. The interface implementation must ensure that the system data object can be used in that process. If the data object is not valid in the caller process then the returned any must be empty.
Returns
The system dependent data object.

Notes:Under Windows the returned any contains an unsigned long which represents a pointer to an IDataObject interface. The caller of getData has to release the data object (IDataObject::Release) if it is no longer needed. The caller must also make sure that the current thread has been initialized for OLE (use OleInitialize).

Apache OpenOffice is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
