IClassDef Interface
See Also
The IClassDef interface helps you create tool information models, by adding interfaces to a class. To insert a new class definition into a tool information model, use the IReposTypeLib interface.
To complete a class definition, once you have added all of the interfaces, commit the transaction that brackets your class definition modifications.
When to Use
Use the IClassDef interface to:
-
Add a new or existing interface to a class definition.
-
Retrieve the global identifier for the class.
-
Access the collection of interfaces that are part of a class definition.
