FindDataObject will return the first data object attached to owner that has the specified tag. A tag of '****' will match any data object.

If you only need to find one instance of a data object (if, for example, you know that only one should exist), use this:

MCObjectHandle auxObjectHd;
if ((auxObjectHd = gSDK->FindDataObject(owner, myTag)) != nil) {
    // do something with auxObjectHd
}

virtual MCObjectHandle FindDataObject(
                    MCObjectHandle   owner,
                    OSType           tag)

Parameters

MCObjectHandle		owner		No information available.
OSType		tag		No information available.

Return Value

On error returns: nil
