Remarks

The Application object implements the IExtensionManager interface that has properties to get a reference to a particular extension and to get a count of how many extension are currently loaded.

Note, other types of objects can also implement IExtensionManager. For example, the Editor toolbar in ArcMap is an extension that manages editor extensions. Therefore, the Editor object also implements IExtensionManager.

See the About Extensions topics for more details.

[Visual Basic 6.0]

To get access to the application extension manager, do a QueryInterface (QI) for IExtensionManager on Application. This can be coded as follows:

Dim pExtMgr As IExtensionManager
Set pExtMgr = Application

You can also get a reference using the ExtensionManager coclass.

Dim pExtMgr As IExtensionManager
Set pExtMgr = New ExtensionManager
