Description
The
IGxApplication interface is unique to ArcCatalog
and is used to control certain aspects of its behavior. For
example, through the IGxApplication interface, you can
delete or expand the current selection (through
DeleteSelection and ExpandSelection) or force a
refresh of a certain part of the Catalog tree (through
Refresh). You can also get hold of the currently selected
object(s) through the Selection and
SelectedObject properties.
The Catalog
property returns the GxCatalog object, which represents
the root of the Catalog data tree. From there, you can use
IGxObjectContainer::Children to enumerate through the
Catalog’s descendants.
The TreeView
property gives you access to ArcCatalog’s tree view. From
this GxTreeView, you can ensure that a certain descendant
is visible or initiate a renaming operation.
The View property
gives you access to the active GxView, whatever it happens
to be. It might be one of the built-in views—for example,
GxContentsView, GxPreview, or
GxMetadataView—or it might be a developer- added
one. From here, you can manipulate the active view in whatever
fashion is native to it.
