IDL Reference Guide: iTools Object Classes

IDLitContainer::Add

The IDLitContainer::Add procedure method adds items to the container object.

Syntax

Obj->[IDLitContainer::]Add, Components[, /NO_NOTIFY]

Arguments

Components

An object reference (or array of object references) to the IDLitComponent object or objects to be added to the container. When this method is called, the IDENTIFIER properties of objects specified by Components are validated, verifying that no items in the container have the same value. If an object with the same identifier already exists in the container, a unique identifier is created by appending a number to the original value.

Keywords

NO_NOTIFY

Normally, when an item is added to a container object that inherits from both the IDLitContainer class and the IDLitIMessaging class, an ADDITEMS notification message is broadcast to all iTool components registered as monitoring this container. If this keyword is set, no message is sent.
