Artist Help:COM & .Net

These features are for advanced code programmers that whish to integrate Artist functionality in to their own code projects.

Artist exposes a COM automation interface with a set of methods for controlling it. You should consult your development software for details of how to wrap this interface. The interface is registered with Windows the first time you run Artist.

For .NET applications you can add a reference to the COM object to connect to Artist via the interoperability mechanism.
