GroupWise Customization Tools
The GroupWise
®
Software Developer Kit provides tools for customizing GroupWise to the specific
needs of your organization. It includes the following components:
Š
WebAccess Customization: Lets you modify the WebAccess client HTML source files to
include your own graphics or company information. You can also enhance the WebAccess
client by creating additional calendar views. For more information, see
GroupWise WebAccess
Customization (http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/
GroupWise_WebAccess_Customization)
.
Š GroupWise Object API: Lets you create your own client application. It provides access to the
Address Book, along with documents, mail messages, appointments, tasks, notes, phone
messages, and workflow items. The GroupWise Object API supports COM Automation, which
is an industry standard for interfacing applications and is simple to use with languages such as
Delphi*, Visual Basic*, and C++. For more information, see
GroupWise Object API (http://
developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/GroupWise_Object_API) .
Š
GroupWise Administrative Object API: Lets you see, use, and manipulate GroupWise
administration information from outside GroupWise. You can use the GroupWise
Administrative Object API through COM languages, such as Visual Basic, Delphi, and object-
oriented languages (such as C++). It also supports COM Automation, which is an industry
standard for interfacing applications. For more information, see
GroupWise Administrative
Object API (http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/
GroupWise_Administrative_Object_API)
.
Š
GroupWise C3PO (Custom 3rd-Party Object): Works with C++, Delphi, or Visual Basic to
let you add menu and toolbar items to trigger applications. For example, you can modify the
GroupWise client toolbar or define new record types in the GroupWise information store. For
more information, see
GroupWise C3PO (http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/
GroupWise_C3PO) .
Š
GroupWise Tokens: Let you manipulate the GroupWise client interface by subscribing to
internal token events or by publishing new tokens to the client. It names low-level events, such
as “save a file” or “send mail,” which allows you to extend GroupWise functionality. A
C3PO
TM
lets you extend GroupWise objects and the Object API lets you see and manipulate the
GroupWise information store from outside GroupWise. In addition, tokens let your solution
command the GroupWise client from DLLs and DDE scripts, using the Third-Party Handler.
You can also use tokens to create Visual Basic executables that users can run from the client
interface. For more information, see
GroupWise Tokens (http://developer.novell.com/wiki/
index.php/GroupWise_Tokens) .
Š
GroupWise Trusted Applications: Enables you to develop applications that can log in to any
user’s mailbox without supplying the user’s password and perform various tasks such as virus
scanning, content filtering, or e-mail auditing. For more information, see
GroupWise Trusted
Application API (http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/
GroupWise_Trusted_Application_API)
.
Š GroupWise SOAP: Provides access to GroupWise data, through defined standards, directly
from the GroupWise post office. The standards used include: HTTP, SOAP, XML, XML
schemas, and WSDL. HTTP, SOAP, and XML are used to transport data from between
computers. XML schemas define the structure and the types of GroupWise data that is
