Introduction

VWorks software includes optional features that allow customers to extend its core functionality to meet specific process or application needs.

The VWorks Application Programming Interface is an optional feature of VWorks software that developers can use to write their own applications to control VWorks software programmatically.

This reference guide defines the interfaces and enumerations provided for developing applications that control VWorks software using VWorks software’s Component Object Model (COM) Application Programming Interface (API).

The following interfaces are included in the COM implementation:

 

Interface name	Purpose	Type library
IVWorks4API	The IVWorksAPI interface is used by an application to control VWorks software programmatically. IVWorks4API interface member methods are defined in “Methods” .	Works.exe
_IVWorks4APIEvent	The _IVWorks4APIEvent interface designates an event sink interface that an application must implement to receive event notifications from VWorks software. _IVWorks4APIEvent interface member events are defined in “Events” .	Works.exe
