IGPFunction Interface

Provides access to the properties/methods of a geoprocessing function object. Note: the IGPFunction interface has been superseded byIGPFunction2. Please consider using the more recent version.

Product Availability

When To Use

IGPFunction is used to obtain access to the properties and methods required to build a function tool. For additional use information check the interface's individual properties and methods and the Building Geoprocessing Function Tools.

Members

	Name	Description
	DialogCLSID	The class identifier (CLSID) of the custom dialog object to use when invoking the geoprocessing function.

CoClasses that implement IGPFunction

Remarks

To create a geoprocessing function tool requires the implementation of at least two objects: One is a function object that implements the IGPFunction interface; the other one is a function factory object that implements the IGPFunctionFactory interface. The IGPFunction interface provides access to properties and methods needed to build a function tool.
