Application Framework Overview

The Application Framework provides general user interface support for some ArcFM Solution products such as ArcFM Viewer for ArcGIS Engine and Responder. The Application Framework controls user interface components such as toolbars, commands and dockable windows. The following sections discuss components that may be integrated with the Application Framework and displayed in the user interface.

	Licensing This section describes how to specify particular ArcFM and Esri licenses.		Application Framework Basics This section provides the basic information necessary when developing customizations for ArcFM Viewer for ArcGIS Engine.

	Implementing Customizations When adding custom objects, such as toolbars, tools and buttons, you must add them to the appropriate Custom Layout file to ensure they appear in the ArcFM Viewer user interface.		Commands and Controls You may add custom tools to the user interface (e.g., buttons, menu items). This section discusses how to create a custom tool and load it onto a toolbar.
