Protos / protoTXView

SetStore

protoTXView:SetStore(store)

Specifies that the text in your word-processing view is to be stored as a virtual binary object (VBO). You only need to call this method if you want your view stored as a VBO; the default is to store the text as a RAM-based object.

store

The store object to contain the text. This is usually the same as your soup entry's store.

return value

An error code, or nil if the operation was successful.

DISCUSSION

Storing text as a VBO allows the text to be as large as the amount of free space on the store. Text is swapped in and out of memory as required.

IMPORTANT

You cannot change the storage-type of your text once your ViewSetupDoneScript has executed.
