iSeries Navigator Visual Basic interfaces

A Visual Basic plug-in must implement one or more iSeries™ Navigator interface classes, depending on the type of function that the developer intends to provide to the iSeries Navigator.

The Programmer's Toolkit contains a link to the Visual Basic interface definition help file.

There are three iSeries Navigator interface classes:

• iSeries Navigator ListManager interface class
  The ListManager interface class is used for data serving in iSeries Navigator. For example, when a list view needs to be created and filled with objects, iSeries Navigator will call methods in the ListManager class to do this.
• iSeries Navigator ActionsManager interface class
  The ActionsManager interface class is used to build context menus, and to implement commands of the context menu actions. For example, when a user performs a right mouse-click on a Visual Basic list object in iSeries Navigator, the queryActions method in the ActionsManager interface class will be called to return the context menu item strings.
• iSeries Navigator DropTargetManager interface class
  The DropTargetManager interface class is used to handle drag-and-drop operations in iSeries Navigator.
