Detailed Description

The IInteractiveExtension interface declares contract for the component, that wants to extend user interaction elements.

This abstract class provides contract to register ICatalog items (operations, menus, toolbars, etc) specific to the component in application.

Although you can access IInteractionService during application startup, it is recomended to implement this interface to register menus and tools specific to your component. Components that register this interface in the IComponent::extension() will be asked for the GUI configuration right after component started.
