hiInheritBindKey

hiInheritBindKey(
t_applicationType 
t_from_app_type 
) 
=> t / nil 

Description

Causes a registered application to inherit bindkeys from another application.

Nested inheritance is not allowed, that is, t_from_app_type cannot inherit bindkeys from another application.

Bindkeys defined for an application that inherits bindkeys will override those that are inherited from the root application. Also, an application can only inherit from one application and multiple inheritance is not allowed. However, any number of applications can inherit from any particular application.

Arguments

t_applicationType	Application type to inherit the bindkeys.
t_from_app_type	Application type where bindkeys are defined.

Value Returned

t	The bindkeys are inherited.
nil	t_applicationType or t_from_app_type is invalid, t_applicationType already has bindkeys defined, or t_from_app_type inherited its bindkeys from another application. A warning is also issued.
