In this course, we explore the IEdmVault5 interface, which serves as the “trunk” of the PDM API tree. We learn how to navigate the documentation to understand which objects can be accessed directly from the vault and which require a more indirect path through sub-interfaces.Finally, we look at the practical advantages of using the built-in PDM message box to ensure our UI always stays properly layered on top of the host application, whether it’s File Explorer or the Administration tool.
KeyTakeaway :
- The API Trunk: Use IEdmVault5 as the mandatory starting point to reach all other PDM objects.
- Documentation Secrets: Check the Remarks section for critical rules on method order and setup.
- Access Paths: Learn to distinguish between getting objects directly from the vault versus indirectly through sub-interfaces.
- Layered UI: Use the PDM MsgBox and Window Handles to prevent pop-ups from hiding behind the main application.
