The SDK contains a manual with very detailed description of the API with examples.
It contains also Visual Studio Express wizards (support VS 8 and 10) for tools and renderers projects.
Wizards and the manual are installed by the setup program only if it detects a supported version of Microsoft Visual Studio Express on your system.
The API of the MADCAT provides a set of services for tools and renderers :
- Parameters (forms controls)
- Message log (errors, warnings, information)
- Database updates on a transaction basis
- Dialog boxes for user interface : Wizard, query box, confirm box
- Import data from the clipboard to the workspace
- Export data of the workspace to the clipboard
- Support drag'n'drop events with external programs.
To build a renderer you will need this additional assembly : RendererInterfaces.
With this API, you can enhance your workspaces and build :
- Tools to perform treatments on your data or read/generate files on your system
- Renderers to display/use your data
- Types to control, manipulate your data
