B_ARCHIVED_OBJECT |
Purpose: Deliverable and format
Source: A dragged replicant, or your app.
Target: A (remote) application.
Hook: BShelf::CanAcceptReplicantMessage()As a deliverable: The replicant system uses this message as a deliverable. If you're using BDragger and BShelf objects, the message is created and delivered for you. You can also simulate a dragged replicant by archiving a view, setting the archive message's command to B_ARCHIVED_OBJECT, and sending the message to a remote application. If the remote application has a BShelf object, the BShelf will pick up the message (through a BMessageFilter) and pass it to the hook function.
To create a simulated replicant message, you call Archive() on the view that you want to replicate, and add (at least) the "add_on" field to the archive message.
See BShelf and BDragger for more information about replicants.
As a format: B_ARCHIVED_OBJECT should be used as the command constant for all archive messages. When you archive an object, the "class" field is automatically added to the archive message. All other fields must be added by your archiving code. See the BArchivable class for more information about archiving.
Field Type code Description "class" [ ] B_STRING_TYPE An array of class names that gives the class hierarchy of the archived object. "add_on" B_STRING_TYPE The signature of the library or application that knows how to create the archived object. "be:add_on_version" B_INT32_TYPE The version of the add_on.
