Creator (ICreator80)

The interface is composed of many methods for creating different objects in a project. When creating an object (using one of the CreateXXX methods) the client gets an interface to the newly created object. The client can then use this returned interface to further control the object (i.e. change its position or its color).

Each object created through the ICreator80 interface has an ID that uniquely identifies it in the TerraExplorer Pro world (the ITerraExplorerObject80 . ID property). This ID can be used by the client to get an interface to that object using the GetObject method of this interface. The client can obtain that ID by either of the following methods:

§ Create the object and store its ID for later use before releasing the object.

§ Find the item if you know its name using IProjectTree80.FindItem.
