Additional library information: Contents, Object Model Diagram

The ArcCatalog library contains the ArcCatalog application, including the Application and GxDocument objects. Some of the interfaces are defined in the ArcCatalogUI library. This is because the objects in the ArcCatalogUI library use the IGxApplication interface to interact with the ArcCatalog application. The GxDocument object fires various events during the lifetime of the ArcCatalog application that can be used by developers to synchronize to ArcCatalog events.

Developers do not extend this library; instead they create commands and tools for use in the ArcCatalog application.
