6.9 Printing of DTM Specific Documents
In general the Frame Application uses IDtmDocumentation for its documentation. This interface allows the Frame Application to ask a DTM for context specific documents identified by the information passed via an XML document. Beneath the documents defined by application id of a Frame Application a DTM can have device- or task-specific documents. These documents are not necessary for the integration itself but are mandatory for special environments like failsafe.
Used methods:
IDtmApplication::StartApplication()
IDtmEvents::OnPrint()
IDtmDocumentation::GetDocumentation()
