DESKTOP FRAMEWORKS CONCEPTS - Create a new document

Create a new document

You use the utility program RunDocument to create a new document using your data type. RunDocument takes three arguments:

The name of the stationery class for your data type
The name of the shared library into which the code for your data type has been compiled
The name for the document that will be created by this program

RunDocument automatically creates a document that is visible as a Workspace entity in the default place.

For example, to create a document called MyDoc using the shared library MySharedLib and the stationery class TMyStationeryClass, enter:

  % cd $TaligentRoot/SharedLibs
  % RunDocument -c TMyStationeryClass MySharedLib MyDoc

The -c flag indicates that you want to create a document. If you omit the document name, RunDocument creates a document named Untitled. Subsequent untitled documents are numbered sequentially (for example Untitled2, Untitled3, Untitled4).
