ISwAddin Interface

Allows applications to create SOLIDWORKS add-ins.

.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Public Interface ISwAddin
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As ISwAddin
C# 
public interface ISwAddin
C++/CLI 
public interface class ISwAddin

Remarks

To use this interface in a SOLIDWORKS VB.NET or C# macro or add-in, see ComVisibleAttribute in VB.NET and C# Macros and Add-ins.

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:

  1. DECLARE_OLETYPELIB(<your CCmdTarget-derived class name>)

  2. __declspec( dllexport ) virtual BOOL GetDispatchIID(IID* pIID);

  • In your implementation, add:

  1. IMPLEMENT_OLETYPELIB(<your class name>, LIBID_SldWorks_SWPublished, SOLIDWORKS_type_library_version, 0)  //e.g., 14 for 2007
     

  2. BOOL auAm_c::GetDispatchIID(IID* pIID)
    {

            *pIID == IID_ISwAddin;

            return True;

}

  • In your class constructor, add:

 EnableTypeLib();
