SetController method

Description

When VWorks software loads each plugin, it checks whether the plugin implements the IControllerClient interface. If the plugin does, VWorks software calls the SetController method and passes a pointer to itself in the Controller parameter. The pointer is valid because VWorks software implements the IWorksController interface. See “IWorksController interface” .

The plugin stores the pointer and uses it to call the following IWorksController methods, which asks VWorks software to perform actions that the plugin cannot do on its own.

•	“NotifyDataChanged method”

•	“NotifyTipOperation method”

•	“OnCloseDiagsDialog method”

•	“PrintToLog method”

•	“Query method”

•	“Update method”

IMPORTANT To use IWorksController methods, the plugin must first get a pointer to VWorks software, which implements the IWorksController interface.

Syntax

 

HRESULT SetController( [in] IWorksController *Controller );

Parameters

 

Controller

[in] A pointer to VWorks software, which implements the IWorksController interface.
