GUIBaseContext :: dictionary - Get dictionary

The function returns the dictionary, which is associated with the application or the project. The dictionary handle is taken from the project handle and not from the current data source (property handle). In order to get the dictionary for the current data source (property handle) one may call:

    property().dictionary();

Return value:  Dictionary Handle ( odaba::Dictionary & )

The dictionary handle usually refers to an opened dictionary. Calling functions with invalid dictionary handles may cause an exception. For checking the dictionary handle, isValid() can be called.
