Inside Macintosh: Cyberdog Programmer's Kit / Part 3 - Cyberdog Reference

Chapter 7 - Classes and Methods / CyberItem

IsDownloadable
Tests whether the data referenced by this Cyberdog item is a file that can be downloaded.
ODBoolean IsDownloadable ();
return value
kODTrue if the data is a downloadable file; otherwise, kODFalse.

DISCUSSION
This method should return kODTrue if this Cyberdog item is capable of providing a stream object via the CreateCyberStream method and a file creator and file type via the GetFileInfo method. The superclass implementation returns kODFalse.
This method throws the kCDErrItemNotResolved exception if the Cyberdog item is not resolved.
If you subclass CyberItem and override this method, your override must not call its inherited method; that is, your override must implement this method's functionality completely.
