Object: SpObjectTokenCategory
Type: Hidden

GetDataKey Method

The GetDataKey method returns the data key of the SpObjectTokenCategory object.

A data key object provides read and write access to the contents of a particular folder in the Speech configuration database. The data key of an SpObjectTokenCategory object accesses the folder referenced by its Id property.

SpObjectTokenCategory.GetDataKey(
     [Location As SpeechDataKeyLocation = SDKLDefaultLocation]
) As ISpeechDataKey

Parameters

Location

[Optional] Specifies the location in the speech configuration database. Default value is SDKLDefaultLocation.

Return Value

An ISpeechDataKey object.

Example

The following Visual Basic form code demonstrates the use of the GetDataKey method to enumerate the list of voices in the voices category. To run this code, create a form with the following controls:

A list box called List1

A command button called Command1

Paste this code into the Declarations section of the form.

The Command1 procedure creates a new SpObjectTokenCategory object, and uses the SetId method to associate the object with the category of voices. It retrieves the data key of the category, and then the data key of the category's Tokens subfolder. It then uses the data key object's EnumKeys method to enumerate the tokens in the Tokens subfolder. The result displayed will be identical to the lists of voices displayed by the code sample in the EnumerateTokens method.
