Remarks

Use the SBuilderWizardManager shell service (SID_SBuilderWizardManager) to get an instance of the interface.

This interface has methods that accept parameters called Category IDs (CATID). The CATID's are not defined in the Interop assembly which defines the interface. Managed code callers will have to create their own managed types to contain the CATID values.

Here are the CATIDs provided by the platform (as defined in ocdesign.idl):

CATID Constant

GUID
