Preparing for OLE Automation

To use OLE Automation to communicate with PowerDesigner, you need to:

• Creating the PowerDesigner Application Object
  PowerDesigner setup registers the PowerDesigner Application object by default.
• Specifying the Object Type
  When you create VB or VBA programs, it is strongly recommended to specify the object type.
• Adapting the Object Class ID Syntax to the Language
  When you create an object using VBScript, you indicate the class ID of the object to create in the following way:
• Adding References to Object Type Libraries
  You must add references to the PowerDesigner type libraries you want to use, for example Sybase PdCommon, Sybase PdOOM, Sybase PdPDM, etc. for programs like VB, VBA, VB .NET and C#.
