Equals

Description

Tests for the equality of the current PBDOM_CHARACTERDATA and a referenced PBDOM_OBJECT.

Syntax

pbdom_chardata_name.Equals(pbdom_object pbdom_object_ref)

Argument

Description

pbdom_chardata_name

The name of a PBDOM_CHARACTERDATA object

pbdom_object_ref

A reference to a PBDOM_OBJECT to test for equality with the current PBDOM_CHARACTERDATA object


Return value

Boolean.

Returns true if the current PBDOM_CHARACTERDATA is equivalent to the input PBDOM_OBJECT and false otherwise.

Throws

EXCEPTION_PBDOM_OBJECT_INVALID_FOR_USE -- If this PBDOM_CHARACTERDATA is not a reference to an object derived from PBDOM_CHARACTERDATA.

Usage

True is returned only if the referenced PBDOM_OBJECT is also a derived PBDOM_CHARACTERDATA object and refers to the same DOM object as the current PBDOM_CHARACTERDATA. Two separately created PBDOM_COMMENTs, for example, can contain exactly the same text but are not equal.
