ArcObjects Library Reference (Geoprocessing)  

IGPFunction Interface

Provides access to the properties/methods of a geoprocessing function object. Note: the IGPFunction interface has been superseded byIGPFunction2. Please consider using the more recent version.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

When To Use

IGPFunction is used to obtain access to the properties and methods required to build a function tool. For additional use information check the interface's individual properties and methods and the Building Geoprocessing Function Tools.

Members

Description
Read-only property DialogCLSID The class identifier (CLSID) of the custom dialog object to use when invoking the geoprocessing function.

Method Execute Executes the geoprocessing function using the given array of parameter values.
Read-only property FullName The function name object of the geoprocessing function.
Method GetRenderer Returns the custom renderer to use for the specified parameter.
Read-only property HelpContext The context identifier of the topic within the help file for this function object.
Read-only property HelpFile Name of the (CHM) file containing help information for this function object.
Method IsLicensed Returns whether the geoprocessing function has all necessary licenses in order to execute.
Read-only property MetadataFile Name of the (XML) file containing the default metadata for this function object.
Read-only property Name Name of the geoprocessing function.

Remarks

To create a geoprocessing function tool requires the implementation of at least two objects: One is a function object that implements the IGPFunction interface; the other one is a function factory object that implements the IGPFunctionFactory interface. The IGPFunction interface provides access to properties and methods needed to build a function tool.
