It carries customizations of several typesuser interface, VBA project, and application-specific data. ArcMap has two or three templates loaded with an application. If the document is based on the Normal template, two items are in the templates collection. If the document is based on a project template, three items are in the templates collection. ArcCatalog always has one item in the templates collection; this item represents Normal.gxt.
When To Use
The ITemplates interface allows you to get a count of the loaded templates and get the pathnames of those templates. Use IApplication.Templates to get a reference to the templates collection.
