Overview
Creo TOOLKIT supplies functions that allow integration of the Tool Selection user interface with a third-party tool manager application. This integration consists of includes three areas of functionality:
• The ability to preregister one or more databases with the Creo Parametric user interface, and to assign custom search parameters to each database. Custom search parameters are items which would not be included natively inside of Creo Parametric, but which could be used to initiate or narrow the tool search.
• Callback functions, that are invoked when the user opts to search inside the tool database. Within the callback functions, the application can extract the native and non-negative search parameters and use these parameters to execute the search.
• The ability to return a list of detailed results to Creo Parametric to be displayed in the results dialog box.
