Detailed Description

Extension class.

Library: ivstudio

To add some new features to Rogue Wave Views Studio, you need to define a new extension. To initialize a new extension and add it to Rogue Wave Views Studio, you have to derive a class from IlvStExtension defining a set of methods that will be invoked in a predefined sequence.
Note: An extension must not be explicitly deleted.
