<Synopsis>[<Symbol Role="Variable">file</Symbol>] Instantiate(in <Emphasis>mediaType template</Emphasis>);
</Synopsis>
</RefSynopsisDiv>
<RefSect1>
<Title>DESCRIPTION</Title>
<Para>The
<Emphasis>Instantiate</Emphasis> request causes the handler to open a factory for
<Emphasis>mediaType</Emphasis> documents based on
<Emphasis>template</Emphasis>. Usually this means opening an untitled buffer not bound to any file.
The handler replies when the untitled buffer is successfully opened.
</Para>
<Para>The
<Emphasis>template</Emphasis> argument
is the template of the document.
If this argument is unset
(in other words, has a value of
<Literal>(char *)0</Literal>), then the template to us is in
the file named in the message's
<Symbol Role="Variable">file</Symbol> attribute. If the
<Symbol Role="Variable">file</Symbol> attribute is also unset, no template has been supplied, and the
factory should use its default template (usually, an empty buffer).
The data type
(<Emphasis>mediaType</Emphasis>) of the
<Emphasis>template</Emphasis> argument should be
<Literal>string</Literal>, unless nulls are valid in the given media type,
in which case the data type must be
<Literal>bytes</Literal>.</Para>
</RefSect1>
<RefSect1>
<Title>APPLICATION USAGE</Title>
<Para>The
&cdeman.ttmedia.ptype.declare; function can be used to register for,
and help process, this message.
</Para>
<Para>This message can be sent with the
&cdeman.ttmedia.load; function.
</Para>
</RefSect1>
<RefSect1>
<Title>EXAMPLES</Title>
<Para>To instantiate an appointment document, the application can send an
<Emphasis>Instantiate</Emphasis> request with a first argument whose vtype is
<Symbol>DT_APPOINTMENT</Symbol>.</Para>
</RefSect1>
<RefSect1>
<Title>ERRORS</Title>
<Para>The ToolTalk service may return one of the following errors
in processing the
<Emphasis>Instantiate</Emphasis> request:
</Para>
