ESRI ArcMap Application

Remarks

The Application object is the core object in the ArcMap and ArcCatalog applications. This object represents the application itself and acts as the central point where access is gained to other objects in the system. The Application object's primary interface is IApplication.

Instantiating a new MxDocument starts a new ArcMap application. Cocreating a new MxDocument actually creates a new Application object which in turn co-creates a new MxDocument.

Remarks

To find the Name of an ESRI extension, refer to the following technical document:

ArcGIS Developer Help > Technical Documents > Names and IDs > Extensions

If an extension is registered as a Just-In-Time extension, FindExtensionByName may return nothing. The safest way to get a reference to any extension is to use FindExtensionByCLSID.

                                       AutomationException

Finds an extension by its CLSID.

Description

ExtensionCLSID specifies the unique identifier (UID) of an extension.

Remarks

COM coclasses are identified by a globally unique identifier (GUID). There are two formats for the GUID for a coclass: a class ID (CLSID) and a ProgID. The ProgID is a text alias for a CLSID. The UID coclass can be used to represent the GUID of an extension object. You can set the IUID.Value property to either the CLSID or the ProgID.

To find the CLSID and ProgID of an ESRI extension, refer to the following technical document:

ArcGIS Developer Help > Technical Documents > Names and IDs > Extensions

For your custom extensions, the ProgID is a string composed of the name of your project used to make the extension and the class name of the extension. For example if you have a Visual Basic project called MyCustomExt and there is a class module for your extension called clsMyExtension in that project, then the ProgID for this command would be "MyCustomExt.clsMyExtension". To find the CLSID for this command, you could search the system registry for this ProgID.

Description

The FindExtension method will get an extension by either its name string or by its CLSID. Using IExtensionManager is not the only way to get a reference to an extension; the IApplication interface has FindExtensionByCLSID and FindExtensionByName methods.

COM coclasses are identified by a globally unique identifier (GUID). There two formats for the GUID for a coclass: a class ID (CLSID) and a ProgID. The ProgID is a text alias for a CLSID. The UID coclass can be used to represent the GUID of an extension object. You can set the IUID.Value property to either the CLSID or the ProgID.

To find the Name, CLSID, and ProgID of an ESRI extension, refer to the following technical document:
