The following code snippets show how to get the IApplication object:

• COM native C++ (from the DraftSight API COM native C++ template file DsAddinConnection.h)
• C++ (from the DraftSight API C++ template file dsAddinConnection.cpp)

COM native C++ 

public:

CComQIPtr<IApplication> m_DsApp;

public:
    STDMETHOD(ConnectToDraftSight)(LPDISPATCH DsApp, long Cookie, VARIANT_BOOL * IsConnected)
    {
        m_DsApp = DsApp;
        IUnknown* dsUnk = NULL ;
        HRESULT hr = DsApp->QueryInterface(IID_IUnknown, (void **) &dsUnk)
   
    }

C++ 

myApplication *myApp = NULL;

const dsString myApplication::appID = L"Replace_with_add-in's_GUID";

#ifdef DS_WIN

DSADDINSAMPLE_EXPORT bool connectToDraftSight(int cookie, dsApplication_c *dsApp)

#else //DS_WIN

extern "C" DSADDINSAMPLE_EXPORT bool connectToDraftSight(int cookie, dsApplication_c *dsApp)

#endif //DS_WIN

{

if ( myApp == NULL )

{

myApp = new myApplication(dsApp);

myApp->CreateUserInterfaceAndCommands();

return true;

}

return false;

}
