This section discusses the Component Manager routines that are used by applications. If you are developing an application that uses components, you should read this section. If you are developing an application that registers components, you should also read "Registering Components," .
If you are developing a component, you should read this section and "Routines for Components," .
This section describes the routines that allow your application to
