Overview
The DataObjectCreate function creates an empty Data Object.
Syntax/Parameters
Syntax
handle = DataObjectCreate ( string descriptor, int size );
Parameters
descriptor
A string containing an object descriptor of up to 15 characters.
size
An int specifying the initial allocated size of the object.
Return Value
Returns a handle value for a Data Object or NULL_HANDLE on failure. Use the GetLastError function to retrieve a formatted error code.
Remarks
The size requirement will be the minimum size of the object. Allocation is performed in granules of 4K or 8K.
The Data Object Descriptor is a 15 character string that defines the content of the data object. For example, a descriptor from a GIF image retrieved from the clipboard is “GIFDataObject”.
Descriptors help both Legato SDK functions and programmers determine the content of a Data Object.
Use caution changing descriptor names since certain SDK functions may expect a certain name to perform their respective functions.
