Allows applications to create SolidWorks add-ins.
Public Interface ISwAddin
Dim instance As ISwAddin
public interface ISwAddin
public interface class ISwAddin
To use this interface in a SolidWorks VSTA macro, see ComVisibleAttribute in VSTA macros.
If you are creating a COM-style addin and are using an MFC CCmdTarget-derived object to implement ISwAddin, you must fully implement ITypeInfo as follows:
In the declaration of your CCmdTarget-derived class, add:
DECLARE_OLETYPELIB(<your CCmdTarget-derived class name>)
__declspec( dllexport ) virtual BOOL GetDispatchIID(IID* pIID);
In your implementation, add:
IMPLEMENT_OLETYPELIB(<your class name>, LIBID_SldWorks_SWPublished, SolidWorks_type_library_version, 0) //e.g., 14 for 2007
BOOL auAm_c::GetDispatchIID(IID* pIID){
*pIID == IID_ISwAddin;
return True;
}
In your class constructor, add:
EnableTypeLib();
