Edition Manager Routines

Creating and Registering a Section

You use the NewSection function to create a new section (either publisher or subscriber) and alias record (which is a reference to the edition container from the document containing the publisher or subscriber section).

The NewSection function registers a section much as the RegisterSection function informs the Edition Manager about a section (except that the NewSection function does not resolve an alias to find the edition container).

When a section needs to be disposed of because the document containing the section is being closed or because the user has canceled the section, you need to call the UnRegisterSection function before disposing of the section.

Using the IsRegisteredSection function, your application must verify that each event received is for a registered section. This is necessary because your application may have just called UnRegisterSection while the event was already being held in the event queue.

If a user saves a document that contains sections under another name (using Save As) or pastes a portion of a document that contains a section into another document, use the AssociateSection function to update the section's alias record.
