IDL Reference Guide: iTools Object Classes |
|
The IDLitParameter::Init function method initializes object instance fields that contain parameter data. Since the IDLitParameter class is always used as a superclass of another class (IDLitVisualization, in the context of the iTool system), initializing this class simply initializes the objects and pointers used to store parameter information in the IDLitVisualization object.
| Note Init methods are special lifecycle methods, and as such cannot be called outside the context of object creation. This means that in most cases, you cannot call the Init method directly. There is one exception to this rule: if you write your own subclass of this class, you can call the Init method from within the Init method of the subclass. |
Result = Obj->[IDLitParameter::]Init() (In a lifecycle method only.)
When called directly within a subclass Init method, the return value is 1 if initialization was successful, or zero otherwise.
