Using the ExpressAddin
The ExpressAddin is a COM Server defined in the FnAppIntExpressAddin.dll library,
which implements the following interfaces:
- IExpressAddin - The client application
uses the methods in this interface to create an Application Integration session
for the user, to specify static, application-specific XML preference settings
for the Add-In, to instruct the Add-In to execute specific Application Integration
commands, and to close the Application Integration session.
- _IExpressAddinEvents - This outgoing
interface defines the events which are fired by the Application Integration
Add-in infrastructure while executing commands. Client applications implement
an event sink interface to handle these events.
To begin using the ExpressAddin from the Add-In
sample application, perform the following steps:
- Install the ExpressAddin. The ExpressAddin is defined in the FnAppIntExpressAddin.dll
file, which is installed to the installation directory (default is C:\Program
Files\FileNet\AppInt\) during the Application Integration installation process.
This is a self-registering COM component which requires no manual configuration
after installation.
- Install the Add-In sample application
and review the code to become familiar
with the ExpressAddin implementation strategy.
- Modify the Add-In sample application.
- Build the modified Add-In sample application.
- Run the modified Add-In sample application.
- Select a FileNet Application Integration command from the File or Insert
menu.
