Document Wizards

Document wizards are a special form of the document templates. Document templates of this type will be marked with this icon in the dialog 'Project New':

A document wizard helps to create a new document by guiding step by step through the creation process. Document wizards are provided as Windows-DLLs (dynamic link library - file extension ".dll") located in the template directories, specified on the tab Path options.

Such wizards are provided on the TeXnicCenter homepage.

Document wizards work together with TeXnicCenter using the COM interface by Microsoft. This enables every one, to create document wizards, using a programming language, that supports the implementation of COM interfaces in a DLL. Some important languages which are providing the necessary features, are:

- Microsoft Visual Basic
- Microsoft Visual C++
- Microsoft Visual Java
- Borland Delphi
