The ExportTypeExtension type exposes the following members.

Methods
  NameDescription

Export Type Extensions need to specify whether or not they support running in SOLIDWORKS PDM context.

Public methodDispose
Called when the settings page is closed. You may dispose everything.

Public methodSave
Called when user clicks OK at export profile settings.
Public methodSupportsSilentExecution
Export extensions that support silent execution can be executed blindly on some host machine or on background. When executed silently, the export profile must not expect any user input. If you return true, your export extension MUST also subscribe to OnExportProfileSelected and execute silently when RequestSilentExport -flag is true. The add-in must also verify its silent export ability with VerifySilentExportSupport. If it's possible that the extension might fail to export in some cases, also OnQueryExportSuccess must be subscribed and handled in order to provide error information on silent export cases. Extensions ability to support silent execution is stored to export profile when the Export Profile is saved at the Profile Options so this must not be a dynamic ability of the extension. Silent export allows executing the export profile on separate host in PDM.
