Operator Reference
get_message_obj (Operator)
get_message_obj
— Retrieve an object associated with the key from the message.
Signature
get_message_obj( : ObjectData : MessageHandle, Key : )
Description
get_message_obj
retrieves an object associated with the Key
from the message denoted by the MessageHandle
.
The object has to be previously stored to the message using
set_message_obj
.
The operator returns the data in the parameter ObjectData
. The
iconic object is copied by the operation. Therefore, clearing or reusing
the message object afterwards will not have any side-effect on the returned
iconic object, afterwards.
If the given Key
is not present in the message or if the data
associated with the key is not an object, get_message_obj
fails.
Presence of keys and information about the data associated with the key can
be verified using get_message_param
.
