The JScript below starts the application and shuts it down. If an instance of the application is already running, the running instance will be returned.
| Note: | For 32-bit UModel, the registered name, or programmatic identifier (ProgId) of the COM object is UModel.Application. For 64-bit UModel, the name is UModel_x64.Application. |
This code is available in the sample file ..\UModelExamples\API\JScript\Start.js (see also Example Files).
// Initialize application's COM object. This will start a new instance of the application and
// return its main COM object. Depending on COM settings, a the main COM object of an already
// running application might be returned.
