GetCyberItem

Retrieves the Cyberdog item whose referenced content is displayed by this part.

CyberItem GetCyberItem ();

return value

The CyberItem object.

DISCUSSION

This method is called by the CyberSession::FindCyberItemWindow and CyberSession::SelectCyberItemWindow methods to retrieve the Cyberdog item whose referenced content the part is displaying. The superclass implementation returns the Cyberdog item last set by the SetCyberItem method. If you are going to hold a reference to the Cyberdog item returned by this method, you must follow a call to this method by a call to the object's Acquire method.

If you subclass CyberPartExtension and override this method, your override must call its inherited method.
