Gadget-Implemented Interfaces 

  • Article

The interfaces that are defined by the Windows SideShow platform API can be divided into two broad categories:

  • Interfaces that are implemented by the Windows SideShow platform.
  • Interfaces that are implemented by individual Windows SideShow gadgets.

This section describes the gadget-implemented interfaces.

The interfaces in these two categories work together. They often pass pointers back and forth, and calls to a method in one category often lead to a call back to a method or property in the other category.

The following table summarizes the Windows SideShow interfaces implemented by Windows SideShow gadgets and called by the Windows SideShow platform.
