Interface Registration

public interface Registration

Provides for the registration of snap-ins to ConsoleOne.

You can register your snap-in in three ways:

• Within each individual snap-in class
• In a separate registration class
• By auto-registration using a manifest file

Registering your snap-ins within each individual snap-in class makes the code easier to read, however registering snap-ins in a separate registration class is more efficient at startup time. For a more complete description of snap-in registration, go the the "Registering Your Snap-ins" tasks topic in the ConsoleOne Developer's Guide.
