Description

The GxCatalog object implements the IGxCatalog interface. It lets you connect and disconnect folder objects. It also maintains the file filter associated with ArcCatalog.

The GxCatalog object represents your actual tree of data, as is shown in the tree view (the top-level object in the tree view). From the GxCatalog object, you can navigate to any of its descendants to access and manipulate them. The GxCatalog object is a type of GxObject and a type of GxObjectContainer because it is an item in the tree view and it contains additional GxObjects.

The GxCatalog object is also an event source, as it monitors the adding, deleting, and changing of the GxObjects within the Catalog through the IGxCatalogEvents interface.
