It's not allowed to block this call till internal 64 operations will be finished here. They must be canceled or call must return immediately by throwing 65 the CloseVetoException. Otherwise (if nothing exist to disagree) it must return normally. 66 </p> 67 68 <p> 69 Before any internal processes will be canceled, all registered XCloseListener 70 must be notified. Any of them can disagree with a CloseVetoException too. 71 It's forbidden to catch this exception inside the called close() method because the caller must 72 get this information! 73 </p> 74 75 <p> 76 If somewhere disagree with a CloseVetoException it will not clear who has to close the object again 77 after still running processes was finished. The parameter <var>DeliverOwnership</var> regulate that. 78 If it is set to `FALSE` the caller of the method close() will be the owner of this object in every case. 79 Then it's not allowed to call close() from any other place (may a registered XCloseListener). 80 If it is set to `TRUE` the caller gives up his ownership. If a XCloseListener throw the veto exception 81 he will be the new owner of the closing object. This information is passed to the listener by a parameter of 82 his notification method XCloseListener::queryClosing(). After his operations was finished 83 he MUST try to close it again. If the closing object itself disagree by an exception and the parameter 84 <var>DeliverOwnership</var> was set to `TRUE` the object will be his own owner with all consequences of that. 85 <br><strong>Note:</strong><br> 86 There is no way to get the ownership back if it was delivered! 87 </p> 88 89 <p> 90 If this method was already called on an object it should return without any reaction. Normally it's possible to throw 91 a com::sun::star::lang::DisposedException for already disposed or closed objects 92 (which represent a com::sun::star::uno::RuntimeException and can be thrown by every interface call), 93 but it shouldn't be used here. The veto exception should be the only way to indicates the result. 94 </p> 95 96 @param DeliverOwnership 97 `TRUE` delegates the ownership of this closing object to anyone which throw the CloseVetoException. 98 This new owner has to close the closing object again if his still running processes will be finished. 99 <br> 100 `FALSE` let the ownership at the original one which called the close() method. He must react for possible 101 CloseVetoExceptions and try it again at a later time. This can be useful for a generic UI handling. 102 103 @throws CloseVetoException 104 indicates that the closing object himself or any of his currently registered listener disagree with this close() request. 105 106 @see XCloseListener 107 @see CloseVetoException 108 @see com::sun::star::lang::XComponent::dispose() 109 @see com::sun::star::lang::DisposedException 110 */ 111 void close( [in] boolean DeliverOwnership ) 112 raises( CloseVetoException ); 113}; 114 115 116}; }; }; }; 117 118#endif 119 120/* vim:set shiftwidth=4 softtabstop=4 expandtab: */ 121
