Extended Error Information

Use the ISupportErrorInfo method InterfaceSupportsErrorInfo to determine if the object supports extended error information. If the object supports extended error info, VC++ developers should use the OLE/COM IErrorInfo interface to access the ErrorInfo object. Visual Basic developers should use the global error object Err to retrieve this extended error information.

Remarks

The ArcPadExtension object represents the ArcPad extension to ArcMap - it is the main component and the focal point for all other objects in the ArcPad object model. Although the ArcPadExtension object is cocreateable, it is automatically created whenever a new ArcMap session starts; in fact, all ArcMap extension objects are automatically instantiated when ArcMap is first started.

The ArcPadExtension object is used to provide an environment for integration between ArcPad and ArcMap. Use the ArcPadExtension object to control the default settings of the Get Data For ArcPad wizard, to access the APTransLog object, or to Copyout, Checkout, or Checkin data from ArcPad programmatically.

To get a reference to the ArcPad extension, use IApplication::FindExtensionByCLSID .

The ArcPad extension manages the APTransLog object. A reference to this object is provided by IArcPadExtension::Log.

[Visual Basic 6.0]

The following VBA code example illustrates how to acquire a reference of type IArcPadExtension to the ArcPadExtension object.

 Sub GetArcPadExtensionByCLSID()
   Dim pArcPadExtension As IArcPadExtension
   Dim pID As New UID
   pID = "editorExt.ArcPadExtension"
   Set pArcPadExtension = Application.FindExtensionByCLSID(pID)
 End Sub

ArcPadExtension consists of the following: ArcPadExtension.
