AfrInterfaces Interface CATIWorkbenchInitialization

Usage: you can freely reimplement this interface.

interface CATIWorkbenchInitialization

Interface to do some initializations before starting a workbench.
Role: This interface is called whenever the given workbench becomes the current one.
You implement it using an extension of a late type made of the workbench identifier suffixed by _init, such as MyWorkbench_init for the MyWorkbench workbench.

This interface contains a method called when the workbench becomes the current one, and a method called when this workbench is exited.
Suppose you launch the workbench A and after the B. The sequence of calls is:

Launch A
workbenchA Init is called

Launch B
workbenchA Dispose is called
workbenchB Init is called

Caution
Any command of a workbench is accessible from any other workbench of the same workshop.
You have two means to launch a command which is initially defined in an another workbench:

Thanks to the Power Input
Thanks to the Tools/Customize command, you can drag/drop a command in any toolbar or menu

So a command must not expect that the method Init of its original workbench has been executed when the command is launched.
This interface must thus be used to do visualization effets, such as create a viewer, change the visualization mode, but never create data in the model.
