Constructor & Destructor Documentation

RemoteGoToAction

RemoteGoToAction(FileSpecification & file_spec, RemoteDestination & remote_dest)

Parameters

file_spec: FileSpecification &

A FileSpecification containing the path to the remote document.

remote_dest: RemoteDestination &

A RemoteDestination representing the destination to jump in the remote document.

General constructor.

The action's target will be the path referenced in the FileSpecification parameter. If the path is absolute, the target path will also be absolute. If the path is relative, the target path will also be relative.

Generally, the FileSpecification and RemoteDestination should be associated with the same Document, and this Document should be the same Document that contains the RemoteGoToAction. (All three objects, FileSpecification, RemoteDestination, and RemoteGoToAction, are associated with a Document at creation time, and the association cannot be changed.) The RemoteGoToAction will be associated with the same Document that the RemoteDestination parameter is associated with.

When creating the RemoteGoToAction, the FileSpecification and RemoteDestination given to the constructor must be associated with the same Document, or an exception will be thrown.
