PropertyHandle :: GetArea - Get Instance area
The function returns the instance area for the property handle. In contrast to GetInstance() the function returns the instance area as (char *) pointer regardless on whether an instance is selected in the property handle or not.
The function will always return a data area when the propertyhandle has a valid description. Hence it cannot be used for checking whether a data area is available. For checking whether a data area has been allocated use HasData().
Return value: Instance area ( void * )
Implementation details
const void *
PropertyHandle :: GetArea ( char chkopt=AUTO )
The function returns the area for the current property handle.
- chkopt
- Check option
The option forces the function to check the property handle before running executing the function. You can pass NO to avoid unnecessary checking.
Default: AUTO
