ShowCyberItem

Displays the content referenced by the specified Cyberdog item in this display part.

void ShowCyberItem (in CyberItem item);

item

The Cyberdog item to display.

DISCUSSION

This method is called by the CyberSession::SelectCyberItemWindow method to notify a Cyberdog display part to display the specified Cyberdog item. This method differs from OpenCyberItem; you call ShowCyberItem once you have determined (by calling CanShowCyberItem or GetCyberItemWindow) that the display part is already displaying a Cyberdog item equal to (or, for example, on the same page as) the specified Cyberdog item. Typically, you call ShowCyberItem when you want the display part to scroll to display a particular Cyberdog item.

If you subclass CyberPartExtension and override this method, your override must not call its inherited method; that is, your override method must implement this method's functionality completely.
