As an aid to understanding the EditMultiSelectClass it is useful to organize its methods into two large categories according to their expected use–the primary interface and the virtual methods. This organization reflects what we believe is typical use of the EditMultiSelectClass methods.

Non-Virtual Methods

The Non-Virtual Methods, which you are likely to call fairly routinely from your program, can be further divided into three categories:

Housekeeping (one-time) Use:

Init (v) initialize the EditMultiSelectClass object
AddValue prime the MultiSelect dialog
Kill (v) shut down the EditMultiSelectClass object

Mainstream Use:

TakeAction (v) handle user actions for the dialog
TakeEvent (v) handle events for the edit control

Occasional Use:

CreateContol (v) create the edit (COMBO) control
Reset clear the MultiSelect dialog
SetAlerts (vi) alert keystrokes for the edit control

(v) These methods are also virtual.

(i) These methods are inherited from the EditClass

Virtual Methods

Typically you will not call these methods directly–the Non-Virtual Methods call them. However, we anticipate you will often want to override these methods, and because they are virtual, they are very easy to override. These methods do provide reasonable default behavior in case you do not want to override them.

Init initialize the EditMultiSelectClass object
CreateContol create the edit (COMBO) control
DeserializeValue extract values from EIP column to selected queue
SetAlerts (i) alert keystrokes for the edit control
SerializeValue process selected items to EIP column
TakeAction handle user actions for the dialog
TakeCompletedInit pre-process serialized values
TakeCompletedProcess post-process of serialized values
TakeEvent handle events for the edit control
Kill shut down the EditMultiSelectClass object
