ApplicationFrame Macro CATDeclareWorkshopFactory

Macro CATDeclareWorkshopFactory (Workshop)
Defines the header file of a workshop factory class.
Role: To create an instance of your workshop, you must define a factory interface which derives from CATIGenericFactory.
This interface is implemented using a factory class as an extension of the CATApplicationFrame class and is created by the two macros CATDeclareWorkshopFactory and CATImplementWorkshopFactory.
Parameters:
Workshop
The name of the workshop's class. This class must implement
CATIWorkshop.>.

Example: MyWorkshopFactory is a class which implements the IMyWorkshopFactory factory interface, creates the MyWorkshop workshop and is defined in the shared library myModule.dll
 
 1) The header file MyWorkshopFactory.h must contain these two lines:

       #include "CATWorkshopFactory.h"
       CATDeclareWorkshopFactory(MyWorkshop);

 2) The source file MyWorkshopFactory.cpp must contain these lines:

       #include "MyWorkshop.h"
       #include "MyWorkshopFactory.h"

       #include "TIE_IMyWorkshopFactory.h"

       CATImplementWorkshopFactory(MyWorkshop, IMyWorkshopFactory);

 3) To declare that CATApplicationFrame implements IMyWorkshopFactory,  
       insert the following line in the interface dictionary:

       CATApplicationFrame    IMyWorkshopFactory  myModule 

 4) To declare that the factory creates an instance of the MyWorkshop class, 
       insert the following line in the factory dictionary:
 
       MyWorkshop            IMyWorkshopFactory
