Extending xDriver

Figure 22. Visual Studio ATL Simple Object Wizard – Names Page

From the ATL Simple Object Wizard Names page, enter a name for the lookup

extension component in the Short Name text box and fill in the rest of the fields

as required. None of these fields should begin with “xDriver.” In addition, the

short name should not match the project name (see Create a New Visual Studio

Project on page 114). The COM interface is your automation interface, and is not

used by xDriver.
The program ID should not match the program ID for any other lookup or COM

component on your computer, or on any computer on which the application will

be installed, because it will be used by the Profile Editor to identify the lookup

extension component.

Recommendation: Specify the program ID using the following naming

convention:

[Company Name].Lookup.[Type]

where [Company Name] represents the name of your company and [Type]

represents the type of database this lookup extension component uses. For

example: “MyCompany.Lookup.ODBC”.
