Detailed Description

Workspace Object specific Message definitions.

IMPORTANT NOTE: For the time being the only message defined here is copy, and the code for allowing customization by Methods of this message is currently only supported for Types of the Form class. This was specifically introduced for support of the upcoming IMAN-MRP Generic Interface Toolkit. As and when required more message/type combinations will be supported, at such time that full coverage of basic Workspace Object messages is available use of this facility will be more widely publicized. In the meantime however please note that the message/type combinations as documented in this header file are a fully supported part of the Teamcenter Engineering public ITK.

Messages are general actions e.g. save, delete. When a Message is sent to a specific Type or instance of a Type, then the Method registered with that Message/Type combination will be executed. See ITK documentation on Methods for further details.

Each message has a unique set of parameters, which are defined here. These parameters are passed in the varargs list of METHOD_execute / METHOD_execute_using, and received in the varargs list of action functions registered to perform methods.

Generic system messages, e.g. save, delete are defined in tc_msg.h. Messages specific to a particular module are defined in a header belonging to that module, e.g. ITEM_create_msg is defined in item_msg.h.
